What is the name of the lake in the middle of EPCOT?

 

[andyman8]

The name of that body of water is World Showcase Lagoon.

In case you (or anyone) were wondering, the primary bodies of water at WDW are the following:
-Seven Seas Lagoon - Lake in front of MK
-Bay Lake - Lake on the side of the Contemporary opposite to MK; FW and WL's lake
-Crescent Lake - Lake that juts out of Epcot, connects Epcot to DHS, and is in between YC, BC, BW, and Swan/Dolphin
-Echo Lake - Lake inside DHS near 50s Prime Time Cafe and H&V
-Discovery River - River that surrounds DAK
-Lake Buena Vista - Lake behind DTD
-Sassagoula River - Lake between Lake Buena Vista and POFQ and POR
-Hourglass Lake - Lake between AoA and Pop Century
-Lago Dorado - Lake in the center of CSR
-Cayman Lake - Lake in the center of CBR

Those are the main ones. There are a couple less important ones too.

Thanks. I've heard it a million times but couldn't remember. It's not listed on Google Maps or anything.

Thanks for the full list in one convenient place and for going beyond what the OP wanted to know. Helpful for others to take a quick look and refresh their memories.

Well, not that it matters now lol, but I'll second World Showcase Lagoon, AND . . . offer up a big thanks to andyman8 for is thorough listing. I knew some of them, but learned a few new ones as well. Thanks for the informative post!

Crescent Lake is the "Epcot part" of the water that connects Epcot to DHS.

Lake Hollywood is the "DHS part".

Andyman and WEDWDW, interesting stuff. Thanks.

Bonnet Creek and Reedy Creek are also actual bodies of water - although one has to know where to look to find the latter. (I'm not sure if I could find it any more.)

And there are some "unofficially named" bodies of water. For instance, at the intersection of World Drive and Buena Vista, two of the cloverleaf exit ramps have large ponds in the middle. The one on the southwest corner is named "Pond Nicholas", though you'll never find that on anything in public.

Well, this is a very educational thread. I knew a few of those, (maybe half) but the rest are new to me.

Thanks for the interesting info

Also want to add that the lake at Caribbean Beach is actually named "Barefoot Bay".

Which are man made?

It "may" be that all are man made except Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista.
