Is to say Erie Lake correct?

Question

you say Mississippi River and Geauga Lake, Hot Springs, and Long Island... not river Mississippi.

Answer 1

Putting "Lake" before the lake's name is traditional in the English language when the lake is particularly large. Thus, this becomes the correct name of the lake. For small or medium-sized lakes, like Crater Lake or White Meadow Lake, this is not done. But lakes following this pattern, apart from all of the Great Lakes, include Lake Como and Lake Baikal.

Answer 2

Lake Erie named after the Eriez Indians

Answer 3

It depends on whether the Body of water is named after a noun or an adjective.

Lake Erie, Lake Huron -- Named after people.
Clear Lake, Hot Springs -- Clear and Hot are adjectives

Islands, generally have island listed after them.

Answer 4

That's why English is so much fun to learn! :-)

It is Lake Erie, NEVER Erie Lake. Unless you say it's an eerie lake.....see why English is so much fun? Try this one: Record a record. Same spelling, two different words, one verb, one noun.

Answer 5

Seriously think about it...Lake Erie or Erie lake..Lake Huron or Huron Lake....Lake Superior or Superior Lake...Lake Michigan or Michigan Lake...its just the way people are used to naming lakes.

Answer 6

not in english it should be lake Erie.
