Laguna La Arocena, Lake in General Pico, La Pampa, Argentina.
Laguna La Arocena is a lake near General Pico that covers roughly 150 hectares with an average depth of about four meters. It sits approximately five kilometers southeast of General Pico's city center.
The lake formed naturally as a basin and gradually became a stormwater drainage system for the growing city. Its role shifted as General Pico expanded and developed over time.
Local people come to this lake to fish and enjoy water sports, making it an important community gathering spot. The waterside sees regular use throughout the year for recreational outings and socializing.
The lake is reached by a dirt road that branches off from Provincial Route 1 and connects with San Martin Avenue from the city. Road conditions can vary depending on weather, so visitors should plan accordingly.
The lake maintains its water level without receiving water from streams or connecting to other bodies of water. This self-sustaining feature makes it a geological oddity worth noticing during a visit.
