El pantà de Susqueda és un embassament que pertany al riu Ter, creat per una presa situada al municipi d'Osor, que s'estén pels termes de Susqueda, Sant Hilari Sacalm i en una minúscula extensió en el d'Osor, a la comarca de la Selva.

Juntament amb el de Sau i amb el del Pasteral, forma part d'un sistema de tres pantans que uneixen la comarca d'Osona amb la de la Selva. La major part de l'embassament està situada en el municipi de Susqueda.

És l'últim en el temps i més important embassament del sistema d'aprofitament hidrogràfic del Ter (Sau-Susqueda-El Pasteral).

Un cop superades, més per força que per grat, les resistències dels habitants de la zona, Hidroelèctrica de Catalunya inicià la seva construcció el 1963, aprofitant el congost que formava el riu entre les serres de Montdois i Sant Benet amb la intenció de produir energia elèctrica i garantir l'abastament d'aigua a Girona i Barcelona. Les obres es van acabar el 1967 i la central hidroelèctrica va entrar en servei el 1968. L'embassament sepultà sota les aigües el poble de Susqueda i les terres i masies de les valls de Susqueda i Querós.

A part de la seva funció en la producció d'energia elèctrica, reserva d'aigua i regulació del cabal del Ter, té un atractiu paisatgístic considerable en trobar-se emmig d'un paisatge frondós i muntanyenc.

La presa de Susqueda és igualment notable com a obra d'enginyeria. Es tracta d'una presa tipus volta de doble curvatura, feta de formigó, amb diverses galeries que la travessen interiorment. Va ser concebuda per l'enginyer Arturo Rebollo Alonso que va incorporar a la presa alguns elements singulars tals com l'espectacular sala dita de les columnes situada en un dels estreps laterals, i a la qual s'accedeix per una elegant escala helicoidal. Les mal anomenades columnes són en realitat pilars de geometria hiperbòlica de revolució truncada que alhora porten incorporat el sistema d'il.luminació de l'espai, realment espectacular.

A la central hidroelèctrica situada més avall de la presa i excavada sota terra també s'hi poden trobar nombrosos detalls de l'aportació creativa...

Huge reservoir, sadly half full with water due to the drought. If you're lucky you will see a beautiful rainbow, since the water is vaporising. The area itself looks beautiful and is full of trees and other plants. There are also a lot of colibries to be seen. The only downsides are that the roads to the reservoir are quite small (one car wide) and might be full of rocks. Next to that the staircases into the reservoir and the bridge on it aren't open to the public all year road, so...

This place is only beautiful and awesome if you can appreciate the engineering, the massive amount of water this dam holds and if you drive a car with some clearance the 2 hours driving along its side roads. I loved it and enjoyed the created piece not knowing how many villages are on its...

Great dam near Girona. Quiet roads and beautiful nature surrounding the Susqueda dam. The access fom one side to the other above the dam is not closed, but still there is a small bridge in the road past the dam. Build in 1967 the Susqueda dam is 135 metres high

Entre todos la mataron y ella sola se murió. Le pongo una estrella no por el paraje natural, que es espectacular sino por la gestión de ACA, Generalitat, Ajuntament i especialment, qui gasta l'aigua per fer electricitat quan el KWH val 500€. Tot mort, dintre i fora de l'aigua, incloent el turisme i per tant els serveis. Per plorar i molt, O bé hauria de dir, per a rebelarse. Ara has de comprar entrades i són ben escasses.
