    118. What makes a lake a lake?
    Sep 28 2026

    You can see a lake's waves and shoreline, but the land beneath the water holds the key to understanding it. Listen in to learn how a lake fills and changes, why its water can move without making it a river, and why the line between a lake and a pond gets surprisingly fuzzy.

    Keep learning in the Great Lakes video class, where we'll map all five lakes and follow the water between them. Use code NOSWEAT for $10 off your first quarterly membership payment.
