Modrac Lake, lake in Lukavac, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Modrac Lake is a large reservoir near Lukavac in Bosnia and Herzegovina, created when a dam was built across the Spreča River in 1964. The water covers about 17 square kilometers with depths reaching up to 20 meters, surrounded by green hills and rolling terrain where visitors can walk along established paths.

The lake was created in 1964 when a dam was built on the Spreča River, originally designed to supply water for local industries and irrigation needs. Over decades, it evolved into a popular recreational destination with beaches and facilities that attracted both residents and tourists seeking outdoor leisure.

The lake takes its name from the Modrac settlement by the dam, and the dam itself is a spot visitors stop to look at where the Spreča and Turija are held back. Around Prokosović, the first settlement past the dam, restaurants, pizzerias and a hotel serve anglers and day-trippers, and boats can be rented on the water.

Walking paths and cycling trails run along the lake shores, making it easy to explore at your own pace throughout the day. Nearby restaurants and facilities provide food and refreshments for visitors spending time by the water.

The lake and surrounding wetlands serve as an important habitat for diverse bird species that attract birdwatchers to the area. A dedicated group called the Eco Diving Group of Disabled People from Lukavac has been conducting cleanup efforts for years to protect the water and keep the ecosystem healthy.
