Lac de Tolla

Lac de Tolla is an artificial reservoir in southern Corsica created to collect water from two rivers and situated at a significant elevation. The lake is bounded by a large dam structure and offers an expansive water surface within the Corsican landscape.

The dam was built as a postwar infrastructure project to supply water and generate power for the region. It became an important water storage facility for Corsica and its communities.

The lake draws locals in summer for water sports, fishing, and walks through the surrounding landscape. The walnut and chestnut groves around the shore shape how people experience and use this place.

The lake is accessible during the warmer months and has a water sports center on the shore. Visitors should plan for sunny conditions and bring appropriate gear for outdoor activities.

The lake is fed by water from two different rivers originating from separate areas of the island. This feature makes it a key point in understanding how Corsica manages its water resources.
