Lake Arvo is a natural centre of outdoor activities in the Sila National Park. Around the lake there are good quality asphalt roads, which are great for cycling - both recreational and more demanding. The routes are varied in length and difficulty, so everyone will find something for themselves. For example, the "Anello Lago Arvo" route is a classic loop recommended in local guides, recommended in spring and summer. Along the way you pass places such as: Camping Lago Arvo, the dam (Diga Nocelle), Rovale, Scarda, Pino Collito and other picturesque corners.

Lorica, located right on the shore of the lake, is a convenient base for trips. It is a small town with several cafes and service points where you can take a break after a ride or walk. There are also several easy and well-marked hiking trails in the area, which allow for leisurely walks in the forest or along the shore.
