I believe the largest in North America is Lake Powell at 126 mi long in Arizona. It was created when the Glen Canyon Dam was built on the Colorado River. As for the next nine...? Lake Powell is actually the 2nd largest. The sizes of artificial lakes is measured by volume, and in the United States this is typically measured in acre-feet. The values reported here are for the "normal" volume for which the lake was designed. Of course, variations in climate will cause lakes to fluctuate over time, sometimes being larger or smaller than reported here. 1. Lake Mead (Arizona and Nevada) — 28.5 million acre-feet in volume 2. Lake Powell (Arizona and Utah) — 24.3 million acre-feet in volume 3. Lake Sakakawea (North Dakota) — 23.8 million acre-feet in volume 4. Lake Oahe (South Dakota) — 23.5 million acre-feet in volume 5. Fort Peck Lake (Montana) — 17.9 million acre-feet in volume (An acre-foot is the amount of water required to cover one acre of ground to a depth of one foot. It is 325,851 gallons, or 1,233,500 liters.)
Lake Powell
Kariba Dam / Lake Kariba is the largest manmade lake in the world.
The largest manmade lakes in America include Lake Mead in Nevada, created by the Hoover Dam, which is the largest by volume. Following closely is Lake Powell, situated on the Colorado River, known for its stunning canyons and recreational opportunities. Other significant manmade lakes include Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota, Lake Havasu in Arizona, and the Tennessee Valley Authority's Norris Lake in Tennessee. These lakes serve various purposes, including water supply, recreation, and hydroelectric power generation.

The oldest manmade lake in South Carolina is Lake Wateree. It is in Kershaw County and has 216 miles of shoreline.
Lake Sunaper, nh
Clearcutting for the rebuilding of Chicago after the great Chicago Fire. I believe this makes the Silver Lake Sand Dunes the largest Manmade Disaster protected by environmentalists.
The spelling is Lake Wallenpaupack, a manmade reservoir in NE Pennsylvania.
Lake Volta, at 246 feet deep (at its lowest), and it is manmade.
to control the Nile flooding and provide hydroelectric power
Grand Lake is a natural lake but most others like Lake Mead are manmade.
