Riserva naturale Pantaniello, State nature reserve in Barrea, Italy

The Pantaniello Nature Reserve encompasses a small glacial lake situated at an elevation of 1818 meters within the Chiarano Sparvera State Forest.

The Italian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry established this protected area in 1972 to preserve a rare glacial lake and its surrounding ecosystem.

The territory of the reserve served as a water source for livestock activities connected to the traditional Celano-Foggia sheep migration routes.

The reserve extends over 2 hectares and contains three natural springs that maintain water levels between 40 and 100 centimeters throughout the year.

The lake hosts Gammarus lacustris, a glacial period crustacean, alongside protected species such as the Marsican brown bear and Italian wolf.
