How many square miles in an acre?

28 acres = .04375 mile²

 

[DnetMHZ]

1 acre = 0.0015625 square mile

What's the general shape of the lake?

 

[edro]

43560 sq.ft.

 

[bonkers325]

it could be classified as a small lake, big pond or a river depending on the characteristics of the body of water. sounds like a small lake to me

sounds like a 2500ft x 500ft water body... so a small lake or big pond would fit the description

Of course, having found the lake i can see by the scale that there's no way it's 1/2 a mile wide, barely 1/2 a mile long.
