Tislit lake is a lake elevation of eastern Atlas mountains located in the administrative division of Imilchil. This is an "agdal" (from tamazigh: good grazing) where tribes Aït Haddidou lead their flocks during the summer.

Every year in September, a significant moussem (annual regional festival) is held by the lake.
