Satpara Lake, Natural lake and reservoir in Skardu District, Pakistan.

Located at 2,636 meters above sea level, Satpara Lake extends across 2.5 square kilometers with a length of 3.5 kilometers and width of 1.4 kilometers.

Construction of the Satpara Dam, initiated in April 2003 and completed in November 2011, transformed the natural lake into an enlarged water reservoir.

The lake holds significance in local traditions, reflected in its dual naming as Satpara Lake in English and Sadpara Lake in regional languages.

The reservoir generates 17.36 MW of hydroelectricity, supplies drinking water to Skardu city, and irrigates 15,536 acres of agricultural land in the valley.

The lake features an island at its center and receives water from melting snow of the Deosai Plains through the Satpara Stream.
