Embalse Los Molinos is the second-largest reservoir in Córdoba Province, Argentina, and one of the most scenic and productive fishing destinations in the region. Formed by the Los Molinos Dam — an arch dam completed in 1953 on the Los Molinos River — the reservoir sits at an elevation of approximately 769 meters above sea level in the Valle de Paravachasca, within the Departamento Santa María. The dam wall stands 60 meters high and 240 meters long, impounding a surface area of 24.5 square kilometers with a total storage capacity of up to 399 million cubic meters of water. The maximum depth reaches an impressive 57 meters, making it a deep, stratified body of water with diverse habitat zones. The reservoir draws from a catchment basin of 980 square kilometers, with a mean annual precipitation of approximately 750 mm across that watershed. Surrounding communities including Los Molinos, Alta Gracia, Villa General Belgrano, Los Reartes, Potrero de Garay, Villa Ciudad de América, Los Espinillos, and La Merced all border or lie near the reservoir, providing anglers with a range of nearby services and access options.
