{{Short description|Lake with no official name}} An '''unnamed lake''' is a body of water with no official nor generally agreed upon name. Such a lake is officially nameless though it may have one or more unofficial names used locally. This is common for many tiny lakes, farm ponds, and minor lakes in remote areas.
==Designated== A lake designated as ''unnamed'' can be distinguished from a lake actually named '''Unnamed Lake''' by its capitalization. Some lakes named the latter are: * northwestern Montana, U.S. {{coord | 47.756 | -113.069 | type:lake_source:gnis-801638_dim:115_elevation:2181}} * northeastern West Virginia, U.S. {{coord | 39.553 | -78.260 | type:lake_source:gnis-1559179_elevation:280}}, which has been re-designated by GNIS as ''Unnamed Lake on Tr-Sleepy Creek Dam''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latlongwiki.com/?l=39.5534281&g=-78.2597296&title=Unnamed+Lake+on+Tr-Sleepy+Creek+Dam,+WV|title=Unnamed Lake on Tr-Sleepy Creek Dam, WV - Geotagged Places of Interest|website=www.latlongwiki.com|access-date=6 March 2019}}</ref>
