Doesn't matter, as they are all incorrect bodies of water to walk around.

Re: Today I walked around Brownie Lake
Having visited the land of 10,000 lakes on many many occasion I can confirm that there are really a lot of lakes that should probably be classified as ponds. But we also have a habit of putting up a dam on a river and calling the resulting reservoir a "lake" when really it's just a flooded river (look at lake of the ozarks in Missouri, it is very obviously a river system - and I lived there).
If you want to discuss funny lake names, look up Lake Disappointment in Australia

I think they consider anything a lake that doesn't have some sort of large flow either in or out. Some of the "lakes" up in the boundary waters are comically small.
Re: Today I walked around Brownie Lake
Today I drove yes DROVE around Lake Nokomis - or, as the ancient Greeks called it, Lake Nokomisopolis - on a reconnaissance mission.
It is a large lake, or - as the ancient Romans called it - [i]lakicus largeus[/ii], so I am glad I was able to reconnoiter before the now-big day when I walk all the way around the blamed thing.
I shall have to eat well, still pack snacks and agua, and wear shades and lots of sunscreen.

I say gather up serious provisions, your scepter and orb, then make a peregrination around the great holy waters of Lake Minnetonka and rule the universe one may.

And it was brown...?!

Was it named after a dude named "Green?"
Lake Harriet in Minneapolis was named by a guy whose wife was named Harriet.
And apparently Brownie Lake was named after some other dude's daughter.
(I do not think Lake Michigan was named after a dude or dudette...)
