List of lakes by area - wikipedia List of lakes by area `` Largest lakes '' redirects here. For the largest lakes by volume, see List of lakes by volume. For lakes on bodies other than Earth, see List of largest lakes and seas in the Solar System. This is a list of terrestrial lakes with a surface area of more than approximately 2,000 square kilometres ( 800 sq mi ), ranked by area. This list does not include reservoirs and lagoons. The area of some lakes can vary considerably over time, either seasonally or from year to year. This is especially true of salt lakes in arid climates.
