Satpara Lake, located approximately 24 km south of Skardu at an altitude of 2661 meters, is an important and beautiful lake in the Skardu region.

Satpara Lake holds a significant cultural connection to the nearby Satpara village from which it inherits its name.

The village of Satpara is known for its contribution to the field of high-altitude mountaineering in Pakistan, providing a lineage of skilled mountaineers who have etched their names in the annals of history.

Satpara Lake extends over an area of approximately 2.1 square kilometers, with its length measuring around 3 kilometers, and its width at the widest point, about 1 kilometer

The principal water source for Satpara Lake is the Satpara Stream coming from the Deosai Plains, which also serves as a significant supplier of water to the city of Skardu.

The Satpara Lake has been the focal point of an important infrastructural project initiated in 2003. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this project involved the construction of a dam downstream of the lake with the principal objective of local hydroelectric power generation

Once operational, this dam is projected to contribute approximately 17.6 Megawatts to the regional electricity grid, effectively providing a continuous power supply to an estimated 40,000 households.

Satpara Lake remains critically important for the Skardu region in terms of ecological value and economic sustenance
