[[File:Colchuck Lake.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Splish splosh.]]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:
