LAKE PLACID

The Lake Fogliano covers an area of approximately 4 square km, in the northern outskirt of Latina, and with a maximum depth of up to 2/3 metres.

The lake is fed by the Cicerchia stream and has an outlet to the sea through the Foce del Duca. Since 1978, it has been part of the nature reserve of the Circeo National Park, and is classified as a marshy area of international importance.

 

An ideal habitat for the stopover, wintering and nesting of a large number of migratory bird species, Lake Fogliano is especially suited for birdwatching and nature tours. We can see the remains of the old village of Fogliano on the lake shores. The other leisure and educational resources of the area include the Casina Inglese, Villa Caetani, the Botanical Gardens – in which part of the visit includes a visitor trail for the blind – and the Parco Letterario di Omero.
