The '''Maggia''' is a [[river]] in the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[Cantons of Switzerland|canton]] of [[Ticino]].
 
The springs are near the [[Cristallina]] mountain at 8136  ft (2480 m). The river runs through the [[Val Sambuco]], the [[Val Lavizzara]], and the [[Valle Maggia]], and enters [[Lago Maggiore]] between [[Ascona]] and [[Locarno]]. The village [[Maggia, Ticino|Maggia]] is situated on the river.
 
The river is used for [[hydroelectric power]] production, e.g. with the dams of [[Lago del Narèt]] and [[Lago del Sambuco]] near the sources.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Vallemaggia {{!}} Ascona-Locarno|url=https://www.ascona-locarno.com/en/explore/vallemaggia|access-date=2021-09-12|website=www.ascona-locarno.com|language=en}}</ref>
