inland lake
Lake without ocean
A lake located away from the coast, entirely surrounded by land rather than connected to the sea.
The term emphasizes the lake's position within a landmass: The region is dotted with inland lakes popular for fishing and recreation.
Nearly all lakes are technically inland, so the phrase often appears in contexts distinguishing freshwater bodies from coastal or tidal waters.
