Lalla Takerkoust Lake
بحيرة لالة تاكركوست
A reservoir about 40 kilometers southwest of Marrakech, reflecting the snowy Atlas Mountains. You can go kayaking or ride camels, and there are resort restaurants on the shore.
The lake was formed by a dam built in the 1930s and is a weekend escape for the people of Marrakech. Along the shore there are several restaurants and eco-camps, and you can go kayaking, paddleboarding and 4x4 driving. It is often combined with the Agafay Desert for a day trip. Water levels have varied widely in recent years due to drought, so check the current situation before you go. It is about 45 minutes by car or private hire.
