One of the lakes in the lower lake area of Plitvice Lakes, the water is clear and has zero pollution. You can see the bottom of the lake and there are fish in some places. There is a wooden plank road beside the lake where you can enjoy the scenery and the lake up close.

I visited on a trekking program of the Croatia tour. Located 518 metres above sea level in the middle of the Lower Lakes group (Lower Lakes), it is one of the smallest lakes in the Prithwitze group. From the lower level Lake Karđelovac, the wooden road curves to the left and follows the left bank of Lake Gavanovac. On the right, looking at the surface of the emerasto green lake, we follow a wooden path to the fantastic landscape of the Mirka Tornina waterfall, where water from the upper level Lake Milanovac flows down.

If you come from park entrance 1 and walk south along the Lower Lakes towards
Kozjak, Gavanovac is the third lake along the hiking route. It is fed by Lake Milanovac, whose waters flow to it via the small waterfalls "Milke Trnine".

Water so clear the fish are easily seen. Pathway is about 3 people wide with walking in both directions. A few people also have dog on leash even large dog or a baby stroller. No guard rails so be careful.

Another beauty, just like the rest of the lakes in Plitvice Jezera NP. Gavanovac Lake is in the Lower Lakes section, so it's most easily (quickly) accessed from Gate 1. Clean, clear, turquoise water through which you can see a fair few fish.

To reach reach this lakeyou'll have to walk several hours if you enter the park at gate 1 as it is situated in the upper lakes part of this Park.
So to reach it faster you'll have to take Entrance 2.
You can take a look at the attached map.
It is definitely worth the effort anyway.
From Entrance 1, your best option to avoid walking more than 2 hours to reach it is to take the boat trip on lake Kozjak and then walk towards the upper lakes. Then you will find it.
Try to visit this Park by good weather, as always, if you want to take good pictures.
Our weather was terrible, unfortunately.
Hope you'll have better luck.

STUNNING when looking down on Gavanovac Lake with its serpentine boardwalks & fascinated trekkers tootling around.
Words are not going to do justice to the overall impression - this is a visual masterpiece.
To note; we walked in misty rain & wore anoraks & didn't need more to stay perfectly dry! Umbrellas ... you've got to be joking on the narrow boardwalks... IT'S SINGLE FILE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERATE.

Plitvice is gorgeous with its many lakes and waterfalls. The color of this lake is incredible and it affords a great view. My advice at Plitvice is see it all. It is simply too beautiful to not do so.

Beautiful walk with great views of the falls. You can take a great photo of the walkway from the opposite cliffs above. Allow lots of time for optional trails to hike. Get an early start to avoid the crowds.
