Lake Kikila
Wallis and Futuna
Lake Kikila, located on the southeastern side of Wallis Island (Uvea) in the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna, is the island's second largest lake after Lake Lalolalo. Unlike Lalolalo, which is known for its rounded shape, Lake Kikila has a more irregular form. The lake lies just southwest of the village of Falaleu and northwest of Ha'afuasia, nestled in a natural setting typical of the South Pacific islands. Its calm waters and relatively undisturbed environment make it a notable natural feature of Wallis, providing habitat for local flora and fauna. Visitors to the lake can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere away from urban centers, experiencing the island's natural beauty and cultural landscape. Although less famous than Lalolalo, Lake Kikila contributes to the ecological diversity of Wallis and offers opportunities for quiet exploration and nature appreciation.
