Lake Garda Attractions Lago di Garda

 
With an expanse of 370 sq.km/143 sq.mi of deep blue water, Lake Garda (Lago di Garda), the Roman Lacus Benacus, is the largest of the north Italian lakes (52km/32mi long, 5-16.5km/3-10mi wide, up to 346m/1,142ft deep), lying in a deeply eroded valley between Venetia and Lombardy. Its main feeder in the north is the River Sarca, and its outlet at the south end is the Mincio, which flows into the Po.

General information

The northern part of the lake is narrow and fjord-like; towards the south end the shores slope down gradually to the extensive morainic cirque left by the old Garda glacier.
