Zengena Lake (Amharic: ዘንገና ህይቅ?) is a crater lake located at 10°54′50″N 36°58′00″E in the Awi Zone of the Amhara Region in Ethiopia. It is situated between the towns of Injibara and Kessa, only 200 m from the Addis Ababa-Bahir Dar highway at an elevation of 2500 m. The diameter of the lake is roughly 1 km. With a maximum depth of 166 m, it is the second deepest lake in Ethiopia after Lake Shala. Its rim is made of unconsolidated ash deposits. Zengena is most likely a maar lake formed by volcanic explosion and collapse.
