Ghioroc Lake (Lacul Ghioroc in Romanian) is a man-made lake located in Ghioroc, Arad County, Romania. The lake has a surface area of approximately 1.050 square kilometers (0.405 sq mi) and is a popular recreational and fishing destination. The lake has several land patches away from the coastline, which are used as vacationing spots or clubbing.[1]
The lake known as the Ghioroc lake or Balta Ghioroc is the southern pit, immediately adjoining the connecting road from Sâmbăteni to Ghioroc and the Arad to Bucharest mainline. The northern side, formerly just Ghioroc 2 was separated in two smaller sections that are still being preserved as a mining pit for building materials (sand, gravel).
The lake is 22 kilometers (14 mi) away from Arad, Romania and 80 kilometers (50 mi) from Timișoara, Romania.
