Como Lake is a 70.5-acre (285,000 m2)[1] lake up to 15.5 feet (4.7 m) deep in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States.[2] It, along with the neighboring Como Park, has been a recreation area for residents of the Twin Cities for more than a century. It was named in 1848 by local farmer Charles Perry. A pavilion sits on the west side of the lake, and plays host to theatrical performances and concerts during the warmer months. The park features a variety of attractions, including the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory and the Como Regional Park Pool.[3]
