**Lake Trichonida** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Λίμνη Τριχωνίδα *Limni Trichonida*; [Ancient Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek): Τριχωνίς *Trichonis*) is the largest natural [lake](/source/Lake) in [Greece](/source/Greece). It is situated in the eastern part of [Aetolia-Acarnania](/source/Aetolia-Acarnania), southeast of the city of [Agrinio](/source/Agrinio) and northwest of [Nafpaktos](/source/Nafpaktos). It covers an area of 98.6 square kilometres (38.1 mi2) with a maximum length of 19 kilometres (12 mi). Its surface elevation is 15 metres (49 ft) and its maximum depth is 58 metres (190 ft).

One million years ago the lake was much larger and covered the central part of Aetolia-Acarnania, a part that is now a plain. The [Panaitoliko](/source/Panaitoliko_(mountain_range)) mountains are situated to the north and northeast of the lake. The municipal units surrounding the lake are (from the east and clockwise) [Thermo](/source/Thermo%2C_Greece), [Makryneia](/source/Makryneia), [Arakynthos](/source/Arakynthos), [Thestieis](/source/Thestieis), and [Paravola](/source/Paravola). Around the lake, there are beautiful forests with maples, pines, and other trees. The lake and its environs are home to more than 200 bird species. There are also farmland and various villages surrounding the area. The hydrocarbon lake *Trichonida Lacus* on the Saturnian moon [Titan](/source/Titan_(moon)) was named after this lake.[1]
