Small lakes in Ireland are commonly known as Loughs.

‘Lough’ is a term derived from the Gaelic word for a lake or sea inlet, used extensively in Ireland and Scotland (where it is spelled ‘Loch’).

Bogs are types of wetlands, while creeks and brooks are terms used for small streams or rivers. ‘Lough’ specifically refers to a lake or sometimes a fjord-like sea inlet.
