Which lake on Hispaniola is the Caribbean’s largest lake?

The Caribbean’s largest lake on Hispaniola is Lake Enriquillo.

Lake Enriquillo is a hypersaline lake in the southwestern part of Hispaniola, within the Dominican Republic. It occupies a low basin between mountain ranges and lies below sea level, making it one of the Caribbean region’s most distinctive geographic features.

The lake’s water level changes substantially with rainfall and evaporation. Its salinity supports American crocodiles and populations of the endangered Rhinoceros iguana on nearby islands and shores. The lake is also part of a protected landscape recognized for its ecological importance.

Lake Enriquillo is sometimes confused with Lake Miragoâne, which lies in Haiti on the same island. Lake Miragoâne is Haiti’s largest lake, but Lake Enriquillo is the larger lake in the Caribbean region.
