Lake Neuchâtel (Template:Lang-fr; Template:Lang-de) is a lake primarily in Romandy, Switzerland (French-speaking Switzerland). The lake lies mainly in the canton of Neuchâtel, but is also shared by the cantons of Vaud, Fribourg, and Bern.
With a surface of 218.3 km (84 sq mi), Lake Neuchâtel is the largest lake located entirely in Switzerland and the 59th largest lake in Europe. It is 38.3 km (23.8 mi) long and 8.2 km (5.1 mi) at its widest. Its surface is 429 metres (1,407 ft) above sea level, and the maximum depth is 152 metres (499 ft). The total water volume is 14.0 km (3.4 cu mi). The lake's drainage area is approximately 2,670 km (1,031 sq mi) and its culminating point is Le Chasseron at 1,607 metres (5,272 ft).
The lake is fed by the rivers L'Orbe (called La Thielle or La Thièle locally, downstream of the city of Orbe), L'Arnon, L'Areuse, Le Seyon, and La Menthue, as well as by the Canal de la Broye. The Thielle Canal (Template:Lang-fr, Template:Lang-de) drains the lake into Lake Biel and is part of regulation system for the lakes and the rivers of the Seeland region.
