The Lagoas das Empadadas are two lakes in Portugal on the Azores island of São Miguel in the Ponta Delgada district . The lakes are located in the Serra Devassa at about 760 m above sea level and are meso- to eutrophic . The northern Lagoa das Empadadas Norte has an area of around 1.8 hectares, while the southern Lagoa das Empadadas Sul is around 2 hectares in size.
From the 16th century onwards, the water from the two lakes was directed to Ponta Delgada via an aqueduct . Remains of the aqueduct from the 19th century are not far away.
