Rivers draining into the Lake Nicaragua or the San Juan River ( Rio San Juan ), whose waters eventually drains into the Caribbean, include:

Lake Nicaragua, despite being a freshwater lake, has sawfish, tarpon, and sharks.

Initially, scientists thought the sharks in the lake belonged to an endemic species, the Lake Nicaragua Shark ( Carcharhinus nicaraguensis ).

In 1961, following comparisons of specimens, the Lake Nicaragua Shark was synonymized with the widespread Bull shark ( C. leucas ), a species also known for entering freshwater elsewhere around the world.

It had been presumed that the sharks were trapped within the lake, but this was found to be incorrect in the late 1960s, when it was discovered that they were able to jump along the rapids of the San Juan River ( which connects Lake Nicaragua and the Caribbean Sea ), almost like salmon.

In the past 37 years, considerable concern has been expressed about the ecological condition of Lake Nicaragua.

It was found that 32 tons ( 70, 000 pounds ) of raw sewage were being released into Lake Nicaragua daily.

An increasingly popular tourist attraction, the volcano has fantastic views of Lake Nicaragua and the city of Granada.

This was part of a series of fortifications built along the San Juan River in order to defend against pirate attacks upon the city of Granada ( which can be reached by navigating upstream from the Caribbean Sea along the San Juan River into Lake Nicaragua ).

The goal was to sail up the San Juan River to Lake Nicaragua and capture the town of Granada, which would effectively cut Spanish America in half as well as provide potential access to the Pacific Ocean.
