This list therefore excludes seasonal lakes such as Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre (maximum area 9,500 km 2 , 3,700 sq mi), Mar Chiquita Lake (Córdoba) (maximum area 6,000 km 2 , 2,300 sq mi), Lake Torrens (maximum area 5,745 km 2 , 2,218 sq mi) and Great Salt Lake (maximum area, 1988, 8,500 km ...
The area of some lakes fluctuates substantially. For those lakes partially in Canada or Mexico the area given for the lake is the total area, not just the part of the lake in the United States. Of the top 100 lakes, 55 are man-made and 45 are natural. Two lakes in the top 100 are primarily salt water, and two are primarily brackish water.
Volumes given for lakes shared with Canada and Mexico are for the total volume of the lake. Many lakes vary substantially in volume over time, especially man-made lakes, reservoirs, and lakes in arid areas. Capacity given is for normal or average lake level.
