Lake Pozzillo

Lake Pozzillo, also known as Lake Orcel, is an artificial reservoir created by blocking the waters of the Salso river. The dam was completed in 1959 and is part of a larger project that included the creation of four other artificial lakes in the province of Enna. The water collected during the winter season is used for agricultural purposes in the months with less rainfall. A wooded area has developed around the lake consisting mainly of eucalyptus trees which today guarantees an ideal refreshment for migratory fauna in transit. In the vicinity of the reservoir there are several routes and excursions on foot and by bicycle are organized regularly.
