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.

Access is by regional roads; the lake is reached from towns like Tempio Pausania or Olbia via provincial roads (SP routes vary by shore). Driving from Olbia is typically 45-90 minutes depending on the chosen route and the exact part of the lake targeted.

• Park at the nearest village and walk a stretch of the shore - the reservoir's quieter coves are where local flora and birdlife congregate.
• If cycling in Sardinia, approach via SP90 or SP11 to enjoy hilltop views before the descent to the water.
• Check local signage for fishing and boating rules - many Sardinian reservoirs have seasonal restrictions.
