Laghi di Revine Lago, Lake in Veneto, Italy
Laghi di Revine Lago are two lakes in the province of Treviso, with Lake Santa Maria to the east and Lake Lago to the west. They are separated by a marshy area and linked by the Barche canal, and the surrounding villages sit on their northern shores.
The lakes formed over centuries through the action of springs and the Piaveson torrent, shaping the valley's landscape. In recent decades, changes in water flow and underground sources have affected the smaller lake, while the larger one has maintained a better balance.
Local life revolves around the water: fishing is a common sight, and the villages host small events near the shores. The canal that joins the two lakes is still used by small boats, keeping a link with the past.
Paths around the lakes allow walking and cycling, and the area is easy to explore on foot from the nearby villages. In cold months, some parts of the smaller lake may freeze, so check local conditions before venturing onto the ice.
In winter, the smaller lake sometimes freezes, yet springs keep small patches of water open, creating a visible contrast on the ice. These spots are a clue to the underground water that feeds the lake.
