Ladon Lake Lake

Address: Ladon Lake (Límni Ládona), Peloponnese, Greece (near Triphylia/Arcadia border)

Admission: Free to view; activities may involve fees for boating or fishing permits

Ladon Lake (Lake Ladon) is a reservoir on the Ladon river in Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece, created by damming a river valley to store water.

The impounded lake provides local opportunities for fishing and small-boat activities, and its wooded valley setting is the main draw for visitors seeking rural scenery. Access is from the surrounding Arcadian villages and mountain roads.

The waterbody is artificial in origin, produced by construction of a dam on the Ladon river to form a reservoir; it is part of local water-management infrastructure.

The lake sits in central Peloponnese within Arcadia, occupying a steep river valley of the Ladon and surrounded by rural, mountainous terrain.

• Reservoir status: is a reservoir on the Ladon river in Arcadia, formed by damming the river and used for water storage and local fisheries.

Ladon Lake is reached by regional roads from Tripoli or Kalamata depending on the starting point; car is recommended. The nearest towns provide basic services; public transport in the immediate area is irregular.
