You can throw a rock across a pond.

Michigan is called “The Great Lake State” not “The Great Pond State”.
Hope this helps.

Same thing in Clemson, how you can tell it is not Auburn.

Guess what? There is no official scientific difference between a lake and a pond. In fact, the only real criteria to categorize something as a lake or pond is that the area in question must be a standing or slow-moving body of water surrounded by land.
Attempting to get more specific from there raises some semantic problems. The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), a U.S. government-sponsored database that attempts to standardize the naming of geographical features, defines a lake as a “natural body of inland water,” but also includes no less than 54 other similar geographical terms—including their definition of a pond.

I live on a pond (100 yards wide by 250 yards long), but it is referred to as a lake. However, the lake (or pond imho) doesn't have a name. Maybe it should be named "Pond Lake." Weirdly, it doesn't show up as a body of water on google maps. Maybe it is because it is just a ditch pond that stays full (7 feet deep or so) by design.

My aunt and uncle had an area of water that measured about 140 feet x 100 feet. There was a small island in the middle that was about 12 feet in diameter. The body of water had green moss in it as well as gar fish. The depth was about 7-9 feet. We always called it a lake but it might have been more accurately described as a pond.

Ponds are man made, lakes arent.

I actually know this!
A lake is a depression that reaches down to and below the water table and thus is usually always filled with water/wet.
A pond is a depression that rests up above the water table and loses water on the long term due to that water seeping down to the water table.

Same goes with what defines a "creek", "brook", "stream" or "river".
"Stream" is really crazy because you have what people call is a "mountain stream", or small river in the mountain. Then you have the Gulf stream.
I think just some people call small bodies of water "ponds", a little bit bigger a "lake"
I'd probably say the line between calling it a pond or lake is about 2 - 3 acres.

Ponds are exclusively manmade.
Lakes can be manmade and natural.
