This small lake basin is a regional nature reserve. The reserve was established in the 1980s as a wetland of international interest and is currently managed by the WWF through a local association. There is a cycle/pedestrian path that allows you to go around the lake completely, admire the animals that populate the area and immerse yourself in nature.

Ruoti is known for its position overlooking the Avigliano river. The origin of its name may derive from the term "arable land". Among its architecture, the Church of San Nicola di Bari and that of San Rocco stand out.
