The Magazzolo Lake is an artificial lake formed by the damming of the Magazzolo river through the Castello dam. The project dates back to the late sixties but it took ten years to build this dam between 1975 and 1985. The waters of this lake are used for civil and agricultural use and serve various municipalities in the province of Agrigento.

Along the third stage of the Sicily Divide you cross the Magazzolo lake before arriving in Bivona. The artificial lake is a leisure place for the locals and a panoramic point that every Divider will want to photograph. On the official website you can find more info on the Sicily Divide itinerary for gravel bikes from Trapani to Catania and from Palermo to Catania: sicilydivide.it
