Lake Togo, lake in Togo
Lake Togo is a lagoon in southern Togo that runs parallel to the coastline. The body of water has shallow banks and is bordered by mangrove forests that link it to the nearby ocean.
The lake has served as a fishing ground and trade route for local communities for centuries. Its role in connecting inland settlements with coastal trading posts shaped early commerce in the region.
The area is best explored from the villages situated along the shore. Visitors should know that access can vary by season and local guides are helpful for navigating the area.
