This basin is very close to the Gulf of Borromeo and takes its name from Mergozzo, the village welcoming it. What are the main<\/span><b> characteristics <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of Lake Mergozzo, and what are the<\/span><b> activities <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offered for tourists?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>History and geographical characteristics<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once, <\/span><b>Lake Mergozzo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> constituted the most Western part of <\/span><b>Lake Major<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, namely the Sinus Mergotianus.\u00a0 The continuous floods of river Toce contributed to the emersion of a stretch of land, which divided Lake Major into two basins. Lake Mergozzo was born. The lake is still connected to Lake Major thanks to a channel long 2.7 km.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the<\/span><b> main characteristics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of <\/span><b>Lake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is that its <\/span><b>waters<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are one of the<\/span><b> clearest in Italy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thanks to the lack of industrial manufacturers on its shores; the ban on the use of motorboats; and a drainage system not discharging in the basin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With regards to the <\/span><b>structural characteristics of Lake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the basin is 2.5 km long, and a bit more than 1 km wide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lake waters reach a depth of 74 meters,\u00a0 for a total volume of water which is almost 90 million\u00a0 meters cubic meter. Lake Mergozzo merges with various <\/span><b>other watercourses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, among which:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rascina Stream;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valle dei Noci Stream;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toce River.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What to do by Lake Mergozzo?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National and international tourists love <\/span><b>Lake Mergozzo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thanks to its waters. The basin suits those who love <\/span><b>water sports<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as kayaking; windsurf; and recreational fishing. For those favoring other activities, they find in Lake Mergozzo a place where to relax far from hot temperatures. Along the rivers of<\/span><b> Lake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you find <\/span><b>several beaches<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where you can dive in the crystal-clear waters of the lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the several beaches here by Lake, the ones worth sharing are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free sandy beach La Quieta, located on the road leading to Verbania;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free sandy free beach\u00a0 Continental, in Verbania;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grass beach Piccolo Lago, in Verbania;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free grass beach Lido Pilastri, in Mergozzo;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free grass beach il Portaiolo \u2013 La Rustica, still in Mergozzo.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Its beaches<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are ideal for families: they find bars, picnic areas, toilets, and entertainment areas.

We are talking about the<\/span><b> Blue trail<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a historical-environmental trail branching out along the Western side of Mount Montorfano.
