Lake Springfield is a lake in Springfield. It is highly polluted, and as such has spawned mutated fish.
Geography
The lake contains rapids and rocks. It also has a waterfall on one end.[1]
History
Homer once took his family and the Flanders Family on a trip to the lake.[2]
According to Lisa, the lake once caught on fire.[3]
The Simpson family spent a day at Springfield Lake, where Homer soon gets involved in a parasailing accident, crash landing in the bedroom of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's holiday home.[4]
The lake was a huge source of pollution, being the dumping site for waste from the nuclear power plant, and eventually, the entire town. The polluted lake claimed the lives of at least one rock band. An effort to clean up the lake by Lisa and Colin succeeded, and a shoulder-height concrete barrier was constructed by Mayor Quimby to prevent any "idiot" from dumping into the lake. However, the wall didn't stop Homer, who repolluted the lake with his and his pet pig's waste, causing some animal life and the entire lake to mutate, and forcing the Environmental Protection Agency to intervene by trapping Springfield inside a giant glass dome, however, it prevented Cletus Spuckler from dropping his waste in the lake.[5]
After Homer gets the day when he is the only one not accused of stealing supplies, he goes fishing with Bart at the lake.[6]
