Lac de Creno, Mountain lake in Corsica, France

Lake Creno spans 2.4 hectares at an elevation of 1310 meters, surrounded by laricio pine forests in the Monte Rotondo massif.

The lake formed through glacial processes and received its water lily population through an introduction effort twenty years ago.

Local traditions connect the lake to a legend about Saint Martin and the devil, marked by an iron cross near the water.

The lake requires a one-hour hike from the parking area above Soccia village, following marked trails through the forest.

Lake Creno contains a small population of carnivorous Drosera plants and remains frozen for three to four months annually.

Elevation above the sea: 1,310 m

GPS coordinates: 42.20470,8.94611
