This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

A lake is a biome. It is a large area covered with fairly deep water. Lakes can be filled with freshwater, saltwater or brackish water. Lakes have slopes leading into the water, making them ideal for learning how to swim in adventure mode.

The settings you choose during World generation have a large impact on how many lakes will be formed. For example, a Large Island world will typically have many fewer lakes than a Large Region world.

There are six types of lakes, divided by climate and the salinity of the water. They are listed in the following table:

Freshwater Brackish water Saltwater
Temperate Temperate freshwater lake Temperate brackish lake Temperate saltwater lake
Tropical Tropical freshwater lake Tropical brackish lake Tropical saltwater lake
