Lake Suchitlán, reservoir in El Salvador
Lake Suchitlán is a reservoir spanning across Chalatenango, Cuscatlán, and Cabañas departments. The water body is bordered by forested shores that provide several points where visitors can enter and explore the area.
The lake was created through the construction of a dam for hydroelectric power and water storage purposes in the region. This project significantly transformed the landscape and became important to the country's infrastructure development.
The lake is accessible from several towns and allows activities like boating and fishing. Visitors should prepare for varying water and weather conditions depending on the season.
