Location
Accessibility conditions are poor, as the roads are marked as dangerous.
The access from Pola de Somiedo is by road, which is currently asphalted, to Valle del Lago. The remaining 6 km have a track with an ordinary floor, which is uncomfortable to drive on when it is dry, and impossible when it is muddy.
The reservoir is inside the Somiedo Natural Park.
