Lago dell'Accesa — Attraction in Massa Marittima

Beautiful, quiet freshwater lake with crystal-clear water.

The lake is accesible via the Strada Provinciale Accesa. You can park on a dedicated parking lot in the woods next to the street and you will have to walk the last 200-300 metres to the lake as parking right next to it is prohibited and will get you a ticket.

The lakefront is covered in reeds and you can get into the water via wooden jetties. Watch out for loose planks and salient nails there. The water is on almost every jetty deep enough to jump directly in. Depending on the jetty, getting out can get difficult as you must drag yourself out of the water.

The lake is ideal for stand-up-paddeling and canooing as the water is almost always glassy (mind that you will have to carry all your stuff the 200-300 m from the parking lot). Snorkelling is not worth it since you will see pretty much nothing but the grey ground. There is a strip of grass all around the lake (maybe 20m wide) where you can lay down and relax.

While you are there you can also visit Massa Maritima, a beautiful medieval city...

Overcrowded, people staying on every access to the water so you cannot swim without arguing with someone. Dogs barking everywhere, rude people camping... I don't recommend this noisy place at all.

In the reviews you can read about "small private spot"...those are the access to the lake, they are NOT "private", you are taking a public spot to enjoy the lake from the people, proprio da classici...

Confermo le recensioni precedenti!!posto d’incanto,acqua cristallina sorgiva… A breve uscirà anche un mio video (canale YouTube Dronandy)del posto dove abbiamo trascorso una breve ma intensa domenica in famiglia Vi consiglio di recarvi “soprattutto nei weekend”,prestissimo al mattino onde evitare di non trovar posto…. Ci sono numerose calette con pedane in legno con accesso diretto nel lago,con tavoli adiacenti corredati di panche…. Molti posti ombreggianti per pranzare.. P.s. non c’è rete internet e telefonica Purtroppo è anche sprovvista di fontanelle….. Posto ideale per tutti ,dal neonato fino al pensionato….. Ampio parcheggio sia scoperto che all’interno di boschetti adiacenti…. In mattinata è presente in loco anche un apecar “melosgrano “dove si possono acquistare materie alimentari a km “0”provenienti da agricoltura sostenibile, biologica e sociale. Spero sia utile a tutti coloro che necessitano di...
