Hidden in the thick vegetation, it is a popular tourist destination (especially during the summer) also because it offers a stunning view of the Etna volcano<\/strong>. It is a perfect place of peace and harmony where you can enjoy the silence or the soft sounds of nature. In the Nebrodi we also find Ancipa Lake<\/strong>, which is at an altitude of 1000 metres and is the highest lake in the region. It was created in the 1950s by damming the Troina<\/em> river to produce electricity.<\/p>\n

Moving towards the interior of the island, between the provinces of Catania<\/strong> and Enna<\/strong>, we find the Lake Pozzillo<\/strong>, from here you can enjoy the stunning views of Mount Etna. The Salso river and other minor watercourses flow into this lake, it is also possible to row in it<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to enjoy other sports you have to go to Lake Nicoletti<\/strong>. It is just 50 km away from lake Pozzillo and was created
\nafter the construction of a dam on the Dittaino. During the summer it is very crowded, predominantly by
\npeople who like to surf and fish for sport.<\/p>\n

Further on, near Enna<\/strong>, we find Lake Pergusa<\/strong> one of the few remaining natural lakes in Sicily<\/strong>. This lake is fed by groundwater and rain: it has no inlets or outlets<\/strong> and the water level changes only through evaporation. The residual accumulated salts make its waters brackish. You may also witness a very special phenomenon: the lake’s waters turns bright red<\/strong>. Don’t be afraid, it’s nothing supernatural: the phenomenon is caused by one of the lake’s tenants, a crayfish<\/strong>, which produces a red pigment to protect itself from the rays of the sun.<\/p>\n

Moving towards western Sicily, near Sciacca<\/strong>, close to the Sicani Mountains and in the middle of a lush forest, we find the beautiful Arancio Lake<\/strong>. From its shores it is possible to admire the Fortino di <\/strong>Mazzallakkar<\/strong>, these are the ruins of a submerged Arab construction, which is in an area full of water mills. Not far from the lake there’s a canyon called “Gole della Tardara<\/em>” a stunning gorge carved by the Carboj river.<\/p>\n

In a hidden valley of the province of Trapani, there is the Preola and Gorghi Tondi Natural Reserve<\/strong>. This place is characterised by a series of small lakes covering an area of 335 hectares from Mazara del Vallo to Torre Granitola<\/strong>. Arriving from Mazara, you first come across the dry basin of Lake Murana<\/strong>, then you reach Lake Preola<\/strong> and afterwards you come across three circular ponds called Gorghi (Upper, Middle and Lower)<\/strong> . A thick vegetation surrounds these water mirrors and a rich variety of birds inhabits the area. Even though the lakes are not suitable for swimming, they are perfect places for birdwatching. Following a path through the lush Mediterranean scrub, on the Lower Gorgo there is also an observatory that can be reached by disabled people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Going up, close to Palermo<\/strong>, near the territory of Caccamo<\/strong>, we can find lake of Rosamarina<\/strong>. It is one of the largest lakes of Sicily and it is fed by the river San Leonardo. The calm waters of this lake hide the Brancato Bridge<\/strong>, a 14th-century bridge belonging to the castle of Caccamo, which has been completely sunk during the construction of the dam.<\/p>\n

Finally, let’s not forget the islands, in this case Pantelleria<\/strong>, where we find a natural lake called Specchio <\/strong>di Venere<\/strong> (Venus’s Mirror). The waters of this lake are highly sulphurous<\/strong> because it lies on top of an old volcanic caldera. Its mud is used in thermal treatments because it has incredible healing properties for the skin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":48477,"template":"","categories":[1920,1917,1928,1940],"luogo":[2945,2965,2958,2947,2959],"stagione":[1874,1877,1875],"class_list":["post-62623","itinerario","type-itinerario","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entroterra-en","category-all-aperto-en","category-territorio-en","category-trekking-e-outdoor-en","luogo-agrigento","luogo-enna","luogo-messina","luogo-palermo","luogo-ragusa","stagione-autumn","stagione-spring","stagione-summer"],"acf":{"sottotitolo":"","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Dettaglio","paragrafo_1":"

Sicily is surrounded by many small watercourses, they represent a very important resource for watering this dry land. That’s why Sicily has an abundance of artificial lakes<\/strong>, where the water from the small rivers is stored. There is also the possibility to visit lakes of natural origin<\/strong>, they are mainly near the coast or within nature reserves. So why not choose to relax near a lake, in a unique and breath-taking setting?<\/p>\n

Our journey begins in the Nebrodi Park<\/strong>, where we find Lake
