Trị An Lake

Trị An is an artificial reservoir in Đồng Nai Province spanning a large water surface across multiple districts with numerous small islands scattered throughout. The surrounding area borders Cát Tiên National Park and combines open water with forested regions nearby.

The reservoir was created through dam construction in the 1980s with Soviet Union support. Its opening contributed to powering the region and marked a turning point in the country's infrastructure development.

The reservoir appears on Vietnam's 5000 đồng banknote from 1993, symbolizing the nation's technological progress. Today it serves as a gathering place where locals fish and travelers encounter the intersection of modern infrastructure and natural surroundings.

Visitors can book overnight stays on boats, fish, or camp along the dykes and dams. The area is best explored through day trips from nearby towns or planned multi-day stays on the water.

The reservoir contains two main islands that serve as popular destinations, offering views of nearby national park mountains. These islands are distinguished by their different sizes and vegetation, serving as anchor points for boat excursions.
