Lake Nymeve, also known as Nymeve Lake, was a body of freshwater located on the planet of Takodana. The pirate Maz Kanata operated an ancient castle situated on its bank, featuring a parapet that provided a view of the lake. In the time of the High Republic Era, a Jedi Temple was positioned on the side of the lake that was opposite to Maz's castle. As a result of suffering significant damage during a battle against New Republic starfighters, an Imperial light cruiser at one point crashed and sank into the lake.
As the Millennium Falcon nears Maz Kanata's castle in the 2015 movie Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, it is shown being piloted above Nymeve Lake. The footage used to depict the lake in this scene was sourced from Derwent Water, which is part of the Lake District region in the northwestern part of England.
