Ooty Lake

If you have been to Ooty and not seen the Ooty Lake, then you have seen nothing at all. The Lake is synonymous with Ooty itself. This is an artificial lake that was initiated as ling back as 1823 by the then collector of Coimbatore Mr. John Sullivan. The lake has been formed by throwing a dam through a narrow outlet of the valley. The Origin of the Lake is as old as the discovery of Ooty by Mr. Sullivan.

The Ooty Lake has a lot of aquatic vehicles in its stock by which the tourists can indulge in their trip across the lake. Row boats, paddle boats or motor boats can be hired and proves to be very exciting. The big boat jetty here is very attractive to children. A mention of the Ooty Lake is incomplete without the mention of boat house that is maintained by the Tamilnadu Tourism Development Corporation. This is also a major attraction of the lake.

The lake is about 2km in length and is in an irregular L shape. The mini train and the pony rides near the lake is a major attraction here. During summer, boat races and boat pageantry are held which are great crowd pullers. The Lake has however over the years shrunk from its original size. The lake is very accessible as it is located at a

convenient distance from the bus stop and the railway station. This lake is a great place to visit for people who love to be outdoors. Definitely among the must see places of Ooty.
