Most lakes in Finland are small, but there are 309 lakes or reservoirs larger than 10 km². There are about 5600 lakes in Finland that are larger than 0.1 km² (10 hectares or 100'000 square metres), and 187,888 lakes larger than five ares (500 square metres / 5,382 sq.ft.). There is no standard unambiguous definition of the size requirements for a water body to be classified as a lake.^[1]  Saimaa is the largest lake in Finland, and the fourth-largest natural freshwater lake in Europe.
