Lago Rivadavia

A long, narrow lake at the northern end of the national park, with clear water. Its lakeside campsites and sandy beaches are quiet, making it good for camping, boating and fishing.

Lago Rivadavia is about 20 km long and lies in the northern section of the national park. The RP71 road runs along its east shore, and several viewpoints overlook the whole lake and the forest on the opposite bank. There are well-equipped campsites and small sandy beaches by the lake, and in summer you can kayak and fish for trout. Heading north from here connects to the Cholila direction, which suits drivers entering or leaving the park from the El Bolsón side. It has fewer visitors than the south, and the scenery is peaceful.
