Lake Menta, nestled in the heart of Aspromonte, is a corner of serenity surrounded by lush forests. Built in 1968, the Menta Dam is a grandiose hydraulic construction with the aim of definitively resolving the problems relating to the water supply of Reggio Calabria.

Artificial lake created by the damming of the Menta torrent in the mountains of the Aspromonte natural park near Gambarie.

More than 400 aquatic species live within the nature reserve, of which at least ten are endemic.

Aspromonte National Park Aspromonte! A beautiful cultural and human nature experience The Aspromonte area covers the southern stretch of the Apennine chain and its soil is crystalline granite. The Aspromonte forms a huge pyramid that rises along the lake and reaches a height of 2000 meters. The park includes numerous peaks and plateaus formed by marine sedimentation. There are also many watercourses (Fiumare) flowing in the area and many animal species can also be found here (wolf, peregrine falcon, eagle owl, hawk). Wide and lush forests cover the protected area: beech, silver fir, black pine, holm oak, chestnut tree and the Mediterranean scrub. Rare plant and animal species also live in the park: e.g. the Bonelli's eagle and the fern Woodwardia radicans. The protected area is located in the heart of the Mediterranean and in its territory you can find important historical, artistic and archaeological sites and evidence of archaic, classical, Greek and medieval cultures. Visiting Aspromonte is an unforgettable experience from a scientific, cultural and human point of view. Come soon!
