Le lac Apanás, ou lac de Apanás-Asturias, est le premier lac artificiel du Nicaragua créé en 1964 par l'inondation de la vallée d'Apanás grâce à l'eau de la rivière Tuma retenue par le barrage de Mancotal. Il est situé dans la vallée de "La Cruz" dans le département de Jinotega à seulement 6 km de la ville de Jinotega.
