Lake Volta, the world's largest artificial reservoir by surface area, spans 8,502 square kilometers in Ghana, formed by the Akosombo Dam, a key source of the country's electricity. Stretching from Akosombo in the south to Yapei in the north, it merges the White and Black Volta Rivers, creating a vast waterway that supports transport, fishing, and tourism. The lake includes islands like Dodi and Kporve, while Digya National Park borders its western shore.

It was a great experience living and working along the lake. It feels natural taking a break at it's bank.

It's a nice experience standing by the lake and watching the beauty of nature. Fishermen with canoe and fishing nets fish on the lake everyday. It's a nice experience visiting here

Still waters, even when it’s raining. A beautiful sight to behold; it gives such a calming sensation than no other thing does.

Water!!! So much water yet little development along it's coast... There are a few awesome water-front resorts worth checking out and experiencing however. You may opt for a boat ride instead of canoe and get a life jacket, in case. It's fine if you can swim though... Contact me for a free tour on the water and experience local people living and fishing on the Volta.

If you don’t do anything at all at Lake Volta, make sure to swim out into the open water around 10 in the night and with your life jacket turn around to face the sky. The stars will bless you with an innocent joy.
