Small lake is a 20-cell still life. It is similar in structure to lake 2, although it is not a true lake itself due to its four sides that are only a single cell in length.

Commonness

Information on this still life's commonness with respect to other naturally-occurring patterns is currently unknown.

Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 22 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 31 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.

In other rules

It occurs frequently in the Life-like cellular automaton B3/S235e, evolving from several precedessors of traffic lights. It is also common in Life variants with S4n.
