Approximately 5 km long, 3 km wide, and with a flooded area of approximately 970 ha, the Odivelas reservoir is an important gathering point for a variety of aquatic birds. Here you can fish for bass, practice water sports or simply relax and enjoy a light meal in the picnic area in the leisure area.
