Abstract
Spajići Lake in Zaovine represents one of the most valuable natural assets of Tara National Park in the Republic of Serbia, although it remains relatively under-recognised by the public. The potential of this lake for recreational and economic development is substantial, yet it remains largely unexploited. Through a comprehensive geospatial analysis of the Zaovine region and Spajići Lake, a proposal has been formulated to introduce water-based recreational activities such as kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddling, sailing, and canyoning. The necessary infrastructure, equipment, and safety measures have been defined as essential steps to expand the offerings in Zaovine and at Spajići Lake, thereby further popularizing it. Potential investment in new recreational facilities would enable additional development of adventure tourism and create a number of jobs in the tourism industry of this region.
