14 Gorgeous Photos Of Lake Bosomtwe That’ll Make You Want To Visit

Welcome to Lake Bosomtwe!

Lake Bosomtwe is an inland lake located about 32 km south of Kumasi and lies in a deep circular crater surrounded by very steep hills that rise to a height of over 366 m below sea level.

Lake Bosomtwe is the only natural lake in the country and its main source is rainwater flowing inwards from the crater rim.

It is an endothecia lake. An endorheic lake is a closed drainage lake that retains water and allows no outflow to other external bodies of water.

1. The floor of the crater is over 152 m below the level of the surrounding streams that discharge into it.
