Lac de Tolla, Artificial lake in Corsica, France
The Tolla reservoir spans 5 square kilometers at 552 meters elevation, collecting water from the Prunelli and Ese rivers in southern Corsica.
The construction of the Tolla dam took place between 1958 and 1960, with Électricité de France officially commissioning the reservoir in 1965.
Local residents gather at the lake's edge in summer to participate in water sports, fishing activities, and walks through walnut and chestnut groves.
From May through September, visitors can rent canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal boats at the nautical center located on the lake's shore.
The dam structure rises 87 meters high and contains 32 million cubic meters of fresh water, making it the largest lake in Corsica.
