Taken from a thesaurus:

Lake: lagoon, loch, mere, pond, pool, reservoir, slough, tarn.

Lagoons are salt water but separated from the sea by a sandbank or reef.

Loch is a Scottish term.

Mere is a very old term and rarely used except in a poetic sense.

Ponds and pools are small and naturally made.

Reservoirs are large lakes, natural or artificial, and used as a water supply.

Sloughs are side channels or inlets and usually quite muddy.

Tarn is a small mountain lake.
