Mangrove Lake is Bermuda's largest lake. Like many of Bermuda's other lakes, it is filled with brackish water, as it lies close to the Atlantic Ocean and can be inundated by the ocean in storms.[1]
The lake lies on the boundary between Smith's and Hamilton Parishes, to the east of Harrington Sound. It is home to the largest population of the endemic Bermuda killifish and is a prominent birdwatching site, with migratory birds stopping here on their journeys across the Atlantic. It also serves as a major water hazard on one of Bermuda's top golf courses.
A smaller lake, Trott's Pond, lies half a mile to the north-east.
