Lake Ichkeul Description
35km/22mi southwest of Bizerte on GP 11 (the Mateur road) lies Lake Ichkeul (area 110sq.km/42sq.mi), a lake well stocked with fish which is fed by streams flowing down from the Mogod uplands and is linked with the Lac de Bizerte by the Oued Tindja. It is unusual in having water which is partly fresh and partly salt. When there is heavy rain the proportion of fresh water rises, while during the dry summer months the proportion of salt water increases. On the south side of the lake is a large nature reserve, dominated by the bulk of Djebel Ichkeul (511m/1,677ft). On its most northerly foothill is the recently opened Museum of Ecology (information about the National Park).
