Laguna de Leche (Spanish for "Milk Lagoon", also called Laguna Grande de Morón) is the largest natural fresh water lake in Cuba.

(The man-made Zaza Reservoir, at 113.5 km2 (43.8 sq mi), is the largest in-land water surface by area in the country.)

[1] A channel built in 1940 (Chicola Channel) connected the lake to the Bay of Buena Vista, allowing for the sugar processed in Morón to reach the small port of Chicola.

[2] In the process, the lake was contaminated with sea water, and it lost its characteristic white color.
