Ooty Lake

Ooty Lake is an artificial lake,  constructed by Collector of Ooty, John Sullivan.

The original intention was to construct an irrigation tank but finally the lake was dredged out in the years 1823-1825. The lake has an irregular L shape and 2 km in length.

The Ooty Lake is just behind the main bus stand of Ooty and the railway line runs along one of the banks of the lake itself. There is a Boat House at the far end of the lake.

It is really very enjoyable to do boating in this serene stretch and admire the beauty of the picturesque surrounding.
