It depends upon the stage that the lake is in, as well as the depth. A bigger, deeper lake is capable of supporting larger fish, like sturgeon, pike and trout. Most lakes have some sort of waterfowl, northern ones will have loons, and nearly all will have herons, ducks, geese, swans, and some will have storks and/or cranes. Frogs, newts, salamanders, lots of amphibians. Probably at least a few types of watersnake, maybe a lizard or two if it's somewhere warmer. Turtles, crayfish, oysters, mussels, snails, tadpoles and a lot of insects in nearly any lake. Mammals too, beavers, otters, muskrats, things like that. All sorts of fish; in Michigan there are bluegill, sunfish, bass-bigmouth and smallmouth, perch, rockbass, dogfish, and then carp-invasive from China.
