About Lago di Mezzola#
Lago di Mezzola is a small lake in Lombardy, Italy, located immediately north of Lake Como. It occupies the lower valley of the River Mera and forms part of a linked wetland area important for birds.
The adjoining Pian di Spagna wetland area forms a natural corridor between Lago di Mezzola and Lake Como and is a noted site for birdwatching and wetland habitat. Recreational boating and fishing take place on the lake at designated access points.
Historically the lake and surrounding wetlands have been shaped by river flows and sedimentation; local conservation efforts focus on preserving the Pian di Spagna reserve and its habitats.
The lake sits just north of the northern arm of Lake Como in the province of Sondrio/Como area of Lombardy, with road access from towns along the lakes and valley routes.
- Hydrology and nature: The lake lies at the northern end of Lake Como’s watershed and is connected hydrologically to Lake Como via the River Mera and associated wetlands.
