Also known as Lake Montimannu, the lake is located in the Villacidro area, in the heart of the Linas massif. It is an artificial lake created by damming the Leni River between 1976 and 1987, with a 55-meter-high earthen dam. Perfectly integrated into the landscape of Mediterranean scrub and holm oak forests, the lake is part of the Monte Linas – Marganai SCI and hosts various sporting events every year.
