Lake Tõhela

Lake Tõhela is a 401-ha lake that belongs to the Männikuste village in Tõstamaa Parish, Pärnu County, southwestern Estonia. This lake is located near lake Ermistu and shares many similarities, from ecology to tourism.

Lake Tõhela is rich in fish and therefore is a favorite fishing place for both locals and visitors. The first international Estonian Naturism Lake Camp 2019 was held in Lake Tõhela Holiday Village. If you want to try fishing in the lake, you can hire boats, canoes, and fishing gear. The lake is also home to many different bird species including white-tailed eagle whom you may also spot through binoculars if you are lucky. Many people come here just to try to spot the beautiful bird.

Another favorite activity that is loved by many in Lake Tõhela is camping. The camping area is located on the shore of the lake in the Ermistu-Tõhela Protected Area. Camping with tents is possible on the shore of the lake and there are 20 places for tents. There are also campfire grounds and a small shelter where you can sit and have a meal. It is possible to rent barbeque equipment and buy firewood. There is also a sandy "beach" for swimming, a stone jetty, boat docks, and fire pits, with a hiking trail nearby.
