Rama Lake, Artificial reservoir in Prozor-Rama, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Rama Lake is a reservoir on the Rama river in the Prozor-Rama municipality, created in 1968 by the Rama dam. It reaches 12 km in length, covers about 1,500 ha and reaches a maximum depth of around 95 m, with water levels that can vary by up to 55 m. The water fills a basin below the Raduša, Makljen, Ljubuša and Vran mountain ranges, and low green islands and peninsulas break its surface.

A dam was built in the 1960s to hold back the river and create the lake, which meant some settlements had to be relocated. This project brought electrical power to the region and reshaped the valley permanently.

The lake has drawn filmmakers and musicians: Portuguese director André Gil Mata shot his 2018 film Drvo (A Árvore) on the water and in Prozor-Rama, and singers Marko Bošnjak, Dženan Lončarević and Džejla Ramović filmed music videos here. The vocal group Sinovi Hercegovine recorded a song named after the lake.

The lake can be reached by driving through mountain roads from nearby towns, with different areas open for fishing and outdoor pursuits. Expect variable road conditions and mountain weather, especially during winter months when access may be challenging.

Two of the lake's main tributary springs, Buk and Krupić, now lie beneath the water surface; during heavy rain and snowmelt they reappear and flow briefly. Krupić supplies about 40% of the Rama's flow at high water and 47% at low water, while Buk provides 26% and 41%.
