This article aimed to identify the tourist/leisure potential in Lago Azul in the city of Araguaína. The research, elaborated in a descriptive way, was carried out by the quantitative method in the investigation of data, obtained through pre-determined questionnaires carried out in interviews with the riverside population of the lake and guests of certain hotels. The result showed that the lake can be considered an attraction for the city and region, in addition to providing leisure for its residents, although much still has to be done, which in the opinion of the interviewees, there must be a joint action with the government and private for the revitalization of the lake and implementation of adequate infrastructure.
