The artificial lake of Arenal floods a large part of the valley. The dam was built in 1973 to provide electricity to the Guanacaste region. In 2011, the production of the hydroelectric plants was enhanced by the installation of a wind farm. Since the major works, the lake has become a recreational area. Fishing is practiced there and is said to be very good. The less patient will go windsurfing, facilitated by good winds. In the western part, it is canoeing or swimming. Most of the hotels on the shores of the lake rent the necessary equipment, but you will find rental points all over the shores.
