Where is this?
Can this be taken farther? Naturally occurring. no digging little moats on the beach.

Think I found where you mean in the Northern Hemisphere, not the Southern Hemisphere. There could be a puddle on that tiny island but nothing big enough to qualify as a lake.

So, I guess that means the size of the island is the limiting factor, in that it must be larger than the minimum area used to define a lake. Of course, that definition varies, so it would be dependent on the local laws that define a lake.

dgm, the 3 lakes in Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron with islands in them are what was looking at.
Vulcan point in Crater Lake on Vulcano Island in Lake Taal on Luzon (PHI) also qualifies. Very Cool.
