Situated near the Arenal Volcano, Lake Arenal is a reservoir made by expanding an existing small lake. The Lake Arenal Reservoir is part of a hydroelectric project that powers the entire country.
More interesting to tourists is that the region is scenic, with surrounding jungles filled with monkeys and other wildlife. In the water, bass and Machaca fish can be found. Popular activities include fishing, biking, horseback riding, and kayaking. Constant winds also makes the lake a top windsurfing destination.
