The top twenty lakes in size are as listed by the National Atlas of the United States, a publication of the United States Department of the Interior.  The area given is the normal or average area of the lake. 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. Three lakes in the top 100 are primarily salt water.RankNameU.S. states\/Canadian provinces\/Mexican statesAreaTypeNotes1Lake SuperiorMichigan\u2013Minnesota\u2013Wisconsin\u2013Ontario31,700\u00a0sq\u00a0mi82,103\u00a0km2natural[1]2Lake HuronMichigan\u2013Ontario23,000\u00a0sq\u00a0mi59,570\u00a0km2natural[2]3Lake MichiganIllinois\u2013Indiana\u2013Michigan\u2013Wisconsin22,300\u00a0sq\u00a0mi57,757\u00a0km2natural[3]4Lake ErieMichigan\u2013New York\u2013Ohio\u2013Ontario\u2013Pennsylvania9,910\u00a0sq\u00a0mi25,667\u00a0km2natural[3]5Lake OntarioNew York\u2013Ontario7,340\u00a0sq\u00a0mi19,011\u00a0km2natural[3]6Lake of the WoodsManitoba\u2013Minnesota\u2013Ontario1,679\u00a0sq\u00a0mi4,349\u00a0km2natural7Iliamna LakeAlaska1,014\u00a0sq\u00a0mi2,626\u00a0km2natural8Great Salt LakeUtah950\u00a0sq\u00a0mi2,460\u00a0km2naturalsalt[4]9Lake OaheNorth Dakota\u2013South Dakota685\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,774\u00a0km2man-made[5]10Lake OkeechobeeFlorida662\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,715\u00a0km2natural[6]11Lake PontchartrainLouisiana631\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,634\u00a0km2naturalbrackish[7]12Lake SakakaweaNorth Dakota520\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,347\u00a0km2man-made13Lake ChamplainNew York\u2013Vermont\u2013Quebec490\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,269\u00a0km2natural14Becharof LakeAlaska453\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,173\u00a0km2natural15Lake St. ClairMichigan\u2013Ontario440\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,140\u00a0km2natural16Red LakeMinnesota427\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,106\u00a0km2natural[8]17Selawik LakeAlaska404\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,046\u00a0km2natural18Fort Peck LakeMontana393\u00a0sq\u00a0mi1,018\u00a0km2man-made19Salton SeaCalifornia347\u00a0sq\u00a0mi899\u00a0km2man-madesalt[9]20Rainy LakeMinnesota\u2013Ontario345\u00a0sq\u00a0mi894\u00a0km2natural21Teshekpuk LakeAlaska320\u00a0sq\u00a0mi829\u00a0km2natural22Devils LakeNorth Dakota300\u00a0sq\u00a0mi777\u00a0km2natural[10][11][12][13]23Toledo Bend ReservoirLouisiana\u2013Texas284\u00a0sq\u00a0mi736\u00a0km2man-made24Lake PowellArizona\u2013Utah251\u00a0sq\u00a0mi650\u00a0km2man-made25Kentucky LakeKentucky\u2013Tennessee250\u00a0sq\u00a0mi647\u00a0km2man-made26Lake MeadArizona\u2013Nevada247\u00a0sq\u00a0mi640\u00a0km2man-made27Naknek LakeAlaska242\u00a0sq\u00a0mi627\u00a0km2natural28Lake WinnebagoWisconsin215\u00a0sq\u00a0mi557\u00a0km2natural29Mille Lacs LakeMinnesota207\u00a0sq\u00a0mi536\u00a0km2natural30Flathead LakeMontana192\u00a0sq\u00a0mi497\u00a0km2natural31Lake TahoeCalifornia\u2013Nevada191\u00a0sq\u00a0mi495\u00a0km2natural32Pyramid LakeNevada183\u00a0sq\u00a0mi474\u00a0km2natural33Sam Rayburn ReservoirTexas179\u00a0sq\u00a0mi464\u00a0km2man-made34Eufaula LakeOklahoma169\u00a0sq\u00a0mi438\u00a0km2man-made35Lake MarionSouth Carolina165\u00a0sq\u00a0mi427\u00a0km2man-made36Leech LakeMinnesota161\u00a0sq\u00a0mi417\u00a0km2natural37Utah LakeUtah151\u00a0sq\u00a0mi391\u00a0km2natural38Lake Francis CaseSouth Dakota149\u00a0sq\u00a0mi386\u00a0km2man-made39Lake Pend OreilleIdaho148\u00a0sq\u00a0mi383\u00a0km2natural40Lake TexomaOklahoma\u2013Texas139\u00a0sq\u00a0mi360\u00a0km2man-made41Yellowstone LakeWyoming136\u00a0sq\u00a0mi352\u00a0km2natural42Falcon LakeTamaulipas\u2013Texas131\u00a0sq\u00a0mi339\u00a0km2man-made43Lake LivingstonTexas130\u00a0sq\u00a0mi337\u00a0km2man-made44Franklin D.
