Madatapa Lake (Georgian: მადათაფა) is a lake in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of southeastern Georgia, near the border with Armenia, north of Bavra. Covering an area of 885 hectares (2,190 acres) at an elevation of 2,108 m (6,916 ft), the lake is noted for its Paravan race of common carp and has been considered as a commercial fishing production site.[2] It is found in one of the most earthquake-prone areas of the Caucasus.[3] A shallow lake, it, along with Khanchali Lake, is one of the most important in the country for breeding and staging waterbirds, including the endangered Dalmatian pelican.[4] Since 2020 it has been designated as a protected Ramsar site.[1]
The villages of Zhdanovakani, Epremovka, Troitskoye and Sameba lie around the lake. Biketi Lake lies to the north.
