Well, here in Massachusetts we have Lake Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg, which doesn't describe its color but does mean "lake divided by islands" and is a pretty accurate, if long winded, description of it.

Growing up I was told it actually meant something like "you fish over there, I fish over here, nobody fishes in the middle" and that is was some sort of territory boundary.
