Default The word lake is used rather freely all over FL in reference to

anything larger than a cheerios bowl!
To TV sales people they may be lakes for good reason.

For those of us born and raised on or near a real lake or one of the great lakes, like Lake Erie.

Even the lakes outside TV, like Weir are at least a decent boat ride around the edges.

Most of the FL lakes and especially the ones here in TV are merely retention ponds with a property enhancing moniker.

I will admit, great lake or lake or pond.....if you have a home overlooking one it is definitely a visual and calming advantage.
