太极湖

太极湖

　　容量2.2亿立方米，湖面17.3平方公里，在刘家峡水电站和盐锅峡水电站之间，黄河之水折向西流，形成湖面，呈S形大拐弯，湖中有大小岛屿9处，两个面积较大的河心洲沙岛，犹如一幅天然太极图形。故该水面被称为太极湖，岛屿被称为太极岛。

　　太极湖以北是一望无际的沙洲，洲上千亩芦苇随风摇曳，水以岛美，岛因水秀。千亩芦苇荡内，水鸟嬉戏，天鹅起舞，栖息着灰鹤、白鹤、丹顶鹤等26种2万多只珍禽益鸟，是西北地区罕见的自然景观。芦苇丛中各种珍禽益鸟栖息，岸边温棚如云，枣园、果园连片，各种树木长势茂盛，鱼塘星罗棋布，禾田阡陌纵横。

　　随着环湖公路的开通以及沿湖各式度假村的建成，这里已成为一处太极八卦旅游度假胜地。
