Lake San Michele (Italian: Lago San Michele) is a lake located in Ivrea, Piedmont, Italy.

Description

The lake forms part of the group of the Five Lakes of Ivrea, along with lakes Sirio, Nero, Pistono, and Campagna. It has a water surface area of 0.07 km², a basin area of 0.7 km², and is located at an altitude of 238 meters above sea level. It is an area of interest from zoological, geological, and botanical perspectives.[1]

The lake is overlooked to the south by the hill where the Monte Stella Sanctuary is located. Part of the area around the lake is included in the Polveriera Park of the municipality of Ivrea.[2]

As with other bodies of water in the area, it is a glacial lake formed by the retreat of the Balteo Glacier.
