It's not a lake, it's a lagoon. It is connected to the sea, and the water is salted. The connection to the sea is not far from the skatepark, it's actually right next to it. Even though the water is not clean, as it has a lot of illegal sewage connections going down to the lagoon, I have wakeboarded quite a bit in there 🤢.
Don't miss the Botanic Garden, it's beautiful.

thanks for the enlightenment on the lagoon. it makes sense that its a lagoon since the park is called Lagoa. i saw boats out there enjoying the water and wind surfers cruising around.
that illegal sewage stuff is a shame. is that from the favelas? i imagine they don't have proper sewer systems ...
A lot comes from the favelas, but there are some rich condominiums that also did it. A while back the government went after it and fixed a lot of them, but it's Brazil, land where rules are meant to be broken with no punishment!!! remember when I said people only think about themselves? if they can save some money not using the regular sewage system, they will, no matter if you are rich or poor.
