POI / Parks and natural oases, Landscape and nature
One of the best-known nature reserves in Italy, the lake is also a biotope of Italy. Easily visited via the Riva dei Giunchi path, the natural basin is endorheic and is characterized by being fed exclusively by the waters of a small portion of the territory set between the two large river basins of the Simeto and the Imera. It is a very important station for wild avifauna, and is also a place of great interest for sports in the natural environment. At the entrance, the Geopark, in agreement with Legambiente, manages the Visitor Center.
