Lake Piso, Coastal lagoon in Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia.
Lake Piso is a coastal lagoon in Grand Cape Mount, Liberia, connected to the Atlantic Ocean through a narrow inlet near Robertsport. Several rivers, including Mole Creek and Mafa River, feed into the lagoon and support a network of waterways used by local residents.
The lagoon received Ramsar site designation in 2003, confirming its international importance for wetland protection. This recognition helped document the ecological value of this coastal area for environmental conservation.
Local communities around the lake have relied on fishing for generations and use the water as a route to move between villages. Daily life here centers on what the water provides, from food to transportation needs.
The lagoon is best explored by boat or with local guides who know the water routes well. The dry season offers the most comfortable conditions for visiting, as water levels are steadier and travel is easier.
Several islands within the lagoon, such as Massatin Island, shelter native monkey populations and a variety of bird species. These less visited areas reveal the rich wildlife that depends on this coastal ecosystem for survival.
