[[File:Colchuck Lake.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Splish splosh.]]A '''lake''' is a [[biome]]. It is a large area covered with fairly deep [[water]].

A '''lake''' is a [[biome]]; it is a large area covered with [[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.
