Minnesota has several lakes named "Mud Lake," one of which I have spent considerable time around. The surrounding area is on top of a huge water table. It's normal for a house with a ~900 sq ft basement to have two(!) sump pumps, and for both of them to run daily(!). Before there was a housing development there, I imagine it would have been very, very muddy. The lake itself isn't particularly muddy, though.
