What is the largest lake in Europe?

In: Lakes and Rivers [Edit categories]

Answer:

The Caspian Sea is often considered the largest lake, and is the largest single enclosed body of water in the world. However, since it is saltwater, and was once part of a primordial ocean, it is not always considered a true lake.

Lake Ladoga in Russia is the largest freshwater lake in Europe, and the 14th largest lake in the world.
