Shape of the lake

Should a wiki on Lake Garda point out the phallic nature of its shape? Discuss.

Sources section

I have removed this list from the article as these tour guides are not quoted or referenced in the article body. Such a random list is dubious against WP:IINFO. If any are good sources they should be referenced. (talk) 13:44, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Windmills

Last Friday, while ridig the LN026 bus line from Peschiera del Garda to the Scaliger Castle of Sirmione, I saw a small group of tall wind-electric turbine towers on a hillside on the other side of the lake. Maybe the name of this (newly built ???) "parco eolico" could be included in the article? I couldn't find it on Google Maps / Earth. Thanks! 79.120.165.185 (talk) 19:26, 25 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Needs a map

This article badly needs a map of Italy showing where the lake is located.—104.244.192.34 (talk) 11:07, 16 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Submerged fault?

The article currently says this in the Geography section: 'The main tributary of Lake Garda is the Sarca River, others include the Ponale River (fed by Lago di Ledro), the Varone/Magnone River (via the Cascate del Varone) and various streams from both mountainsides, while the only outlet is the Mincio River (79 metres (259 ft), at Peschiera). The subdivision is created by the presence of a fault submerged between Sirmione and Punta San Vigilio which is almost a natural barrier that hampers the homogenization between the water of the two zones.' It is not clear to me what this 'subdivision' that is mentioned actually is, though if lake waters are prevented from thorough mixing, it would suggest a submerged topographic high. It is unlikely that this high is 'a fault' though faulting could be associated with the presence of a 'natural barrier'. Faults are (to put it simply) two-dimensional planes (or indeed zones) within a body of rock, where movement has taken place and they may or may not result in a fault scarp for example.
