Lake Tisza (in Hungarian: Tisza-tó) is the largest artificial lake in Hungary.

Located at the southeastern edge of Heves County, it was born in 1973 thanks to the Tisza River flood control project.

Its filling finished in the 1990s, resulting in a 127 km² surface area of water.

There is an eco-centre in Poroszló erected to collect and display the nature and wildlife of the Tisza River Valley and Lake Tisza, and it opened to the public in 2012.

The bikeway offers great views of the landscape – you can overlook the islands, the floodplain forests, and the beautiful water surfaces while riding a bike.

There is only a difference of 1 metre in altitude, so you can take a short trip without training for it.

Ferries cross the lake at several points, or you can take combined boat-bicycle trips using a rented boat available at the ports.
