The term "Lake Coorong" is not widely recognized in established geographic, scientific, or encyclopedic sources. Accurate information regarding a body of water specifically named "Lake Coorong" is not confirmed.
While the name "Coorong" is associated with a well-documented and ecologically significant region in South Australia—specifically the Coorong, a elongated lagoon system separated from the Southern Ocean by the Younghusband Peninsula—there is no verified reference to a discrete feature labeled "Lake Coorong." The Coorong itself is often described as a lagoon or a series of shallow saltwater lagoons connected to Lake Alexandrina at its northern end via the Murray Mouth. It is part of the Murray-Darling Basin and is protected as the Coorong National Park.
It is possible that "Lake Coorong" may be a misnomer, informal usage, or local reference to part of the broader Coorong system. However, no official or scientific sources currently support the designation of a distinct entity called "Lake Coorong."
