The Lago di Candia lies in a protected nature park in the Canavese north of Turin, a tranquil reed-fringed lake known for its birdlife and the August water-lily bloom. The grassy lakeside bathing area offers calm, shallow swimming, rowing and a rowing-club tradition, in a quiet natural setting far from the resort bustle of the bigger lakes.
