I’ve been swimming at Walden Pond a lot recently.  It’s a pretty good sized body of water.  So I was wondering why it was still considered a “pond” instead of a “lake.”  Currently, there is no official definition that separates a pond and a lake.  Typically it just comes down to size, but as with Walden Pond, it really doesn’t matter (just like this information).

I like lakes more though.
