Kannankurichi Lake
Kannankurichi Lake, also known as Mookaneri Lake, is located in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu. The lake covers an area of 23.5 hectares and is situated to the south of the Shevaroy Hills.
It is a major body of water in Salem and is fed by rainfall, including the hills surrounding Yercaud, which flow into the lake via the Puthu Yeri and Kothukaran Odai streams.
The lake features 47 man-made islands, each created by excavating and piling lakebed clay about 10 feet high. Initially, millet was planted on the islands to arrest erosion and help build a soil layer before saplings of neem, banyan, jambul, peepal, and vetiver trees could be planted. The lake islands are now populated by nearly 12,000 trees.
