Lake Pozzillo in Regalbuto

Lake Pozzillo, also known as Lago a Regalbuto, is of artificial origin since it is obtained from the construction of a dam entered into operation in 1959 in the territory of Caltanissetta two kilometers from the town of Regalbuto.

The territory concerned is about fifteen kilometers and involves some districts of Cangemi.
Lake Pozzillo collects the waters of the Salso river and some minor streams from the surrounding hills.

All around this body of water a green area has been created mainly composed of eucalyptus trees which have generated a real own naturalistic wooded area, within which there are many activities that are part of the attractions of the lake.
A part of this wooded area has been organized with paths and trails dedicated to trekking and mountain biking, as well as hosting refreshment areas and barbecues.
