A calm reservoir in the hills behind Lagos — cork oaks down to the water, warm swims and easy quiet a short drive from the surf.

Sleep
Bivouac — discreet lakeside inland; no trace
Heads Up
Quiet dirt-track shores away from the dam. Freshwater to swim; bring drinking water. Discreet & no-trace; fire risk high in summer — no flames.
Float in the still water at dusk, then sleep under the cork oaks a world away from the coast road.
