Lake Arenal and the Lucky Bug business for sale setting

The Lucky Bug Resort and Lake Arenal sits beneath the majestic Arenal Volcano in the northern part of Costa Rica. It’s the biggest lake in Costa Rica providing essential hydroelectric power generation for the country. There are two fish species that live in the lake, the machaca and the famous rainbow bass, making it a popular fishing destination for outdoor enthusiast staying at the Lucky Bug resort. Over 100 other mammals survive thanks to the lake’s water supply. Lucky Bug resort guests go hiking around the lake and they spot hundreds of bird species, tapirs and maybe even a jaguar (unlikely, but jaguars do live off of the lake).

Not far from the Lucky Bug Resort property for sale is Lake Arenal in Costa Rica offering aquatic adventures at the feet of giants. Lake Arenal, from 1972 to 1976, a huge earthen dam was built, resulting in the creation of the lake. Once the hydroelectric dam was finished in 1979, Lake Arenal was 3 times bigger than it was originally. There are two abandoned cities at the bottom of the lake that were moved to east side during construction of the dam. The deepest part of the lake is 180 feet deep. However, the depth adjusts throughout the year, and when the lake is shallower, you can see some islands appear.

The massive Arenal Volcano and lush rolling hills in the background, along with the shining blue waters, make Lake Arenal an incredible area for water and adventure activities, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife spotting and photography. The surrounding spas, hot springs and tourist towns make Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano one of the most popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica.
