Lago del Coghinas Lake

Lago del Coghinas is an artificial reservoir on the island of Sardinia in Italy, formed by impounding the Coghinas river. It is a significant water resource for the surrounding agricultural areas.

The lake is used for irrigation and hydroelectric purposes and also supports local recreational activities such as boating and birdwatching at accessible shoreline points. Visitor facilities are concentrated near access roads and local towns.

The reservoir was created by dam construction on the Coghinas river to regulate flows and supply water for agriculture and power generation; the dam remains the principal engineered feature of the site.

The lake lies inland in northern Sardinia within the administrative region of Sardinia, near towns and agricultural areas that depend on the reservoir for water supply. Road access connects it to nearby settlements and to regional routes.

• Usage: The reservoir is one of Sardinia’s principal artificial lakes and is used for irrigation and hydroelectric purposes as well as local recreation.
• Visitor access: Shoreline access and boating are available at specific points rather than continuous public beaches, so check local access before visiting.
