Volta Lake

Volta Lake, located in Ghana's south-east, is the world's largest man-made lake. With a surface area of 8,502 km2, it is the world's largest reservoir by surface area and the fourth largest by volume (148 km3). Its location is really beautiful and a must-visit when you come to Ghana. Volta Lake is in a tropical area, and the climate is pleasantly warm throughout the year. It is an attractive destination for tourists, and the small towns near the dam are developing as a result.

When visiting the place, you can visit Dodi Island. People can either fish in certain areas of the lake or take a trip to the dam. Exotic and luxurious hotels have been built near the lake to serve tourists who want to spend quality time by the natural retreat. Attempts are also being made to increase the region's tourism level. However, for the time being, this is primarily aimed at the domestic market.
