Lake page edits
Your infobox looks good! The picture you have chosen looks nice and you have added some good information. It looks like the Max Length measurement is off - it is listed in feet. Did you perhaps mean miles? Double check that.

I'd like you to include the pushpin map that is in the original infobox if possible. You can use the code from the existing box. Also check the WikiProject Lakes infobox page for more details on how to do this.

For "Type," there are several different types of lakes that can be listed here beyond just the standard "lake." Check the WikiProject Lakes page for a list and include any that are relevant: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lakes/Archive 1 Egeorge1 (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Also it looks like you can include references in a separate section within the infobox - see the Lakes infobox page for more info. Let me know if you have trouble with this - I haven't personally done this so we may have some coding to figure out. Egeorge1 (talk) 20:13, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I have been trying to figure out the pushpin map, and I am not making any progress. The existing box has an option for a pushpin lake, but my template does not. I tried to adjust my template from "Template Infobox Lake" to "Template Infobox body of water" (which is the template the original article used), and the pushpin feature was not there either.
