Is this airliner-shaped lake real?

That’s Pineview Reservoir. It has a three-fingered shape (or fuselage-and-wings shape) because it was built at the confluence of several streams. It is indeed a real body of water, but not technically a lake.

It does remotely look like an airplane as Google Maps / Earth reveals:

It’s clearly visible in Google Maps, where you’ll also notice that it is much larger than a real airliner.

The human brain is very good at recognizing pattern, and in your case it identified this lake loosely resembling an airliner. The phenomenon of recognizing patterns in random data is called Apophenia.

So in summary, there is no reason to assume this lake is not real and its shape anything other than coincidence.
