Descripción
Sloka Lake is about 3 km long and 1.3 km wide, but only around 1.1 m deep, giving it a dark, reflective character typical of bog‑fringed waters. Sloka Lake is made attractive by an observation tower on pontoons and an adjacent boardwalk circular route of 3.1 km along the lake shore, and through black alder bogs and other habitats. Birds you can observe include Cisne Vulgar, Somormujo Lavanco, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Avetoro Común, Pico Dorsiblanco, Pico Menor, Pico tridáctilo, Porrón Osculado, Mosquitero Silbador, Garceta Grande, Grulla Común, Cuco Común and Charrán Común.
