Tips from the Community
Lake Candia (in Piedmontese lagh ëd Candia), located in the municipality of Candia, in the Canavese area, about thirty kilometers from Turin, is the last highly natural lake basin in the Piedmontese Po Valley, before the mountain barrier represented by the Western Alps.

I'm giving this spot a negative rating because, compared to the photo, the place is currently in a serious state of disrepair. The wooden walkway is quite uneven and has some screws sticking out of the beams, which is definitely not ideal for cyclists. The area is poorly maintained, with dirt and overgrown grass, and the table is also quite dirty; it's obvious that it doesn't get much maintenance... a shame, because it's truly a charming spot!

The area depicted in these images is located a short distance from the parking lot where it's best to leave your car and explore (on foot or by bike) the countless trails that surround the lake. This is one of the few truly accessible areas along the entire perimeter because, perhaps to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem, the trail that circles it is kept at a constant distance. In any case, aside from the lake, the entire surrounding rural area is worth a visit, still pleasantly unspoiled. A trip in autumn is highly recommended for the myriad colors of the vegetation. Both cyclists and walkers should be careful, as I didn't notice any distinction between trails reserved for mountain bikes and those reserved for pedestrians; many secondary paths have dead ends!
