Kodaikanal Lake
Kodaikanal Lake, also called Kodai Lake, is a star-shaped artificial lake created in 1863 by Sir Vere Henry Levinge, the then Collector of Madurai, who transformed marshy land in Kodaikanal by damming three streams.
The lake covers about 60 acres and has a typical depth of around 3 meters. It serves as the heart of the Kodaikanal hill station in Tamil Nadu and is surrounded by lush green hills, making it a popular and scenic destination for tourists. The lake hosts activities like boating—offering rowing, pedaling, and luxury boats and has a boat club established in the late 19th century.
Visitors also enjoy cycling and horse riding around its perimeter. The area around the lake is rich in flora and fauna, including the famous Kurinji flower, which blooms once every 12 years. Kodaikanal Lake is a hub for recreation, eco-tourism, and relaxation, with no entry fee and facilities for families and nature lovers to unwind in a cool, pleasant climate.
