The Volta Lake and Akosombo Dam

The Volta Lake is created in 1965 after building a dam on the Volta River at Akosombo. The Lake offers a variety of opportunities for cruises, water sports and angling. It also has many fascinating islands and islets, such as Dodi Island, where facilities for excursions are being developed. The Volta Dam supplies hydro-electric power to several parts of Ghana and to the neighbouring countries of Togo and Benin. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the Dam from the balconies of the Volta Hotel.
