Lake Liscia is a body of freshwater on the island of Sardinia in Italy, located in a rural part of the island’s interior. The lake is used locally and sits within a Mediterranean landscape of low hills and scrub.

Local uses include water supply and recreation at modest scale; the immediate surroundings consist of agricultural land and scattered small settlements. Visitor facilities are limited compared with major tourist centres.

The lake was formed and managed to support local water needs and agricultural use. It lies within Sardinia’s interior and is accessed from nearby towns in the Gallura/Olbia-Tempio area.

Situated on Sardinia, the lake sits inland from the northeastern coast and is reached via regional roads from nearby towns and villages.
