Lake Cardito

This lake is an artificial reservoir, built in the 1960s for the needs of the hydroelectric power plants of Enel and the city of Cassino.

Lake Cardito is surrounded by mountains covered with verdant forests and is located in a mountainous climate zone, with clear but not very deep waters that do not reach high temperatures. The surrounding area is little affected by man, which means that the fauna and flora are intact and there are many species of small mammals living undisturbed.

The lake is a popular destination for fishing during spring, summer and autumn, but on summer weekends it can be very crowded due to campers. Various types of fish can be caught in the lake, including perch, trout, carp and brown trout, using fishing techniques such as spinning and crawling. However, it is necessary to comply with the fishing licence and regulations of the Province of Frosinone.

For tourists visiting the area, a campsite has been set up along the banks of the lake where they can stay. In this way, fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers can fully enjoy the beauty of Lake Cardito.
