The Ramsko jezero is a reservoir of the Rama River in the north of the Herzegovina-Neretva canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina . It is located in the parish of Prozor-Rama , north of the Vran Mountains . When fully blocked, the lake has an area of around 14.8 km², is around 12 kilometers long and a maximum of 95 m deep. The water level is then about 590 meters above sea level. The catchment area of the lake on the upper Rama covers about 550 km².
The Rama reservoir was created in 1968 with the construction of the 100 meter high and 230 meter long Rama dam. In connection with the creation of the reservoir, a total of 2,939 people were resettled from the villages in the upper Rama valley. The remains of some places - especially old tombstones and the foot of the minaret of the former Kopčići mosque - can be visited when the water level is low.
The Franciscan monastery Rama-Šćit is located on the Šćit peninsula in the middle of the lake.
