Named as ponds, lakes or reservoirs, these water bodies provide multiple recreational opportunities, important aquatic habitat, and an exciting new lifestyle for Rhode Island lakefront home owners. Reservoirs are a primary source of public drinking water supply for RI residents. 37% of the statewide lake acreage, are designated as public drinking water sources. This includes the state's largest man-made freshwater body, the Scituate Reservoir, which provides water to the Providence metropolitan region and many surrounding suburban communities. Lakes are widely distributed throughout the state and most are considered small - 70% are 50 acres or less in size. Only four exceed 500 acres - Watchaug Pond, Flat River Reservoir, also known as Johnson's Pond, Worden Pond and the Scituate Reservoir. Worden's Pond is the state's largest natural pond covering 1,051 acres.
