The Volta River, flowing south into Ghana from Burkina Faso, is the country's primary river system, consisting of the Black, White, and Red Volta rivers. The river empties into the Gulf of Guinea at Ada Foah, and is home to Lake Volta, the world's largest man-made reservoir by area, created by the Akosombo Dam. The river serves as a crucial resource for hydroelectric power, irrigation, water transport, and fish farming, while its historical significance is tied to the Akwamu people and its name, given by Portuguese traders, referring to the river's curved course.

Very beautiful natural river. We used the boat to cruise on the river and we had great views. From one island to the over and beautiful mansion built along the river banks.

Kayaking on the volata river was extremely interesting although the capsizing of the kayaks was a nono

Every farm produce from the farming communities at the other side of the river can be found here on sale. Outboard motor boats are the means of crossing the Volta River. There are sand winning companies operating daily and selling river sand to construction companies and tipper truck owners from Accra and Tema.
