The Lost Paradise of Panamá

Lago Alajuela is located about halfway between Panama City and Colon. It was formerly known as Madden Lake. It’s an artificial lake formed by the Madden Dam on the Rio Chagres. It’s used as a reservoir for the canal, should extra water be needed. The other artificial lake, and more well known, is Gatun Lake. Lago Alajuela is near Vigia where my brother-in-law and his family live. The lake is a popular place for boating and fishing.
