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.  Finally, one of the best treats is to watch the active Arenal volcano erupt!

Getting there:
This is a great spot for windsurfing and easy to get to.  You can rent top notch equipment.  Take the bus to Tilaran and then there is a local bus that will take you the the windsurf spot.  The wind is thermal and therefore constant.  The waves are a little strong but fun to jump

I can not describe to you what it feels like to be next to an erupting volcano! We stayed at the Arenal Paraiso Spa and Resort overlooking the Volcano! Beautiful I highly recommend going here!

A very picturesque lake outside of the town of Arenal, and a nice place to go if you want to escape for some relaxation.
