Lake Pradaccio

Lake Pradaccio is a partially natural lake of glacial origin located in the province of Parma, with a surface area of about 40,000 square meters and a maximum depth of 2 meters.

[1] The name "Pradaccio" has its etymological roots in the term "Prataccio," which was historically used to refer to an ancient lake that is now present in the peat bog stage.

In 1959, the reservoir was constructed with the specific purpose of facilitating sport fishing.

[2] Of glacial origin, it is a semi-artificial reservoir, derived from hydraulic-forestry arrangements.

[3] Since it is located in a protected area, the lake can only be visited by guided groups, with obligatory reservation at the Territorial Office for Biodiversity in Parma.
