Satpara Lake (Urdu: سدپارہ جھیل) is a natural lake near Skardu in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The lake supplies water to Skardu Valley. It is fed by the Satpara Stream.[1] Satpara Tso (Lake) is situated at an elevation of 2,636 meters (8,650 ft) above sea level and spans an area of 2.5 km².[citation needed]

The completion of Satpara Dam downstream of the lake has enlarged the size of Satpara Tso Lake.[2]
