A= island, B= lake
Lake Manitou (an area of about 104 square kilometres ) is the largest lake on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada.
It is the largest lake on a lake island in the world.
Since Manitoulin Island itself is in Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes, Manitou qualifies as the largest "lake in a lake".
