「湖」と「池」は何が違いますか? I understand that both of these mean "lake". Is there any difference between them? Or is it only in how they are used?

Although those two words both express the place where keeps water; 池 means a pond, and 湖 means a lake. 池 can be used for a small pond in the garden, just a pond, or very small lake. On the other hand, 湖 sounds more like a huge lake. 池 is usually made artificially but 湖 is usually natural.

湖is much bigger than 池~ you know, swimming pool calls “游泳 池”。 Mostly 池 is artifical, but 湖 is natural.(但是也有“人工湖”)
