The lake located in Ooty is one of the major attractions in the city. The lake offers boating facilities to the visitors for a nominal fee. It is an artificial lake constructed by John Sullivan, in 1824.
The lake is formed when the water flowing down mountain streams in the Ooty valley was dammed to occupy an area of 65 acres. The lake is surrounded by Eucalyptus trees and a railway line used by Nilgiri Mountain Railway runs along its shore.
Originally it was used for fishing, but as it diminished in size, it was converted into tourist spot by the authorities to restrict encroachment of the area.
The kids and adults equally enjoy the boat rides here. One can around in the lake with the choice of their boat such as Paddle boats, Row boats, and Motor boats.
Also one can also see water birds in this lake.

Beautiful photos on the lake! But I wish they avoid motorboats to keep the lake, and its surroundings, clean.
Lovely shots - and a nice place for an outing.
I like that kind of boat.
