Lake Campotosto is a man-made lake in the Abbruzzo, Italy.
The reservoir is located at an elevation of 1313 m. The area where the lake now sits was once a vast peat bog, this used as an energy source by the local small industries up until the early 20th century. Lake Campotosto was created in the 1930s by means of constructing three dikes.
A circular trail run along the perimeter of the lake. In the summer it serves as a gathering place for many hiking, jogging, bicycle touring or simple romantic walks during the sunset hours.
