Pond = A small body of still water of artificial formation

Drat! I'd almost convinced myself that my 2/3 acre bullldozer-induced body
of water with dock and paddleboat qualified as a lake, albeit a small one.

Lucky you ! Is your loch a recent construction, and can you go fishing
from your boat/dock?

Currently covered with a thick layer of ice, winter being very assertive
this year in the Northeast American colonies...

Just right for skating and curling
