Barren River Lake is a 10,100 acres (41 km2), reservoir in Kentucky created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1964 by impounding the Barren River. The lake occupies parts of Allen, Barren, and Monroe counties.
The Barren River Lake Dam is an earthen dam, 146 feet high and 3970 feet long at its crest. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for operation and maintenance of the project, and responsible for protection of the resource. A small segment of the property owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is leased to Barren River Lake State Resort Park and lies along a section of shoreline in Barren County.
The lake has three large islands.
In the widest part of the lake, there are two large islands, each about one square mile in size. And another smaller island near the main boat ramp and camp-site.
There is also another, which is sometimes partly connected to the surrounding land, but sometimes surrounded by lake water, depending on water levels.

River Lake (Nova Scotia) could mean the following:
River Lake is a Y-shaped natural freshwater lake on the southeast side of Winter Haven, Florida. It has a 26.98-acre (109,200 m2) surface area. This lake is as much a swamp as a lake, since at least half the surface area is covered with swampy vegetation. On the north and west residences line the lake's shore. On the southwest is a wooded area and on the south is a grove of citrus trees. To the east is a swampy area. Just to the east of this is a natural freshwater pond.
There is no public access to this lake. However, the Hook and Bullet website says River Lake contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.
