- It was just like any other lake. - Some construction work was going on when we visited. - If the weather is good, you will enjoy - Boating seemed costly - You can spend some nice time with your family

Going for a boat ride in the lake is one of the best pastimes to a family, in Ooty. The serene scenery is simply excellent experience.

It is good to do boating on this lake.The tall and beautiful trees overlooking the lake is a real attraction. Good experience. Being flower show time the area was overcrowded

Not that great when compared to Pykara Lake. We did boating for 20 mins and this place has some good games for kids which my kid really enjoyed rather than boating.

Very Crowded & noisy. The water/stream is not transparent & neither maintained well. Mostly people visit the place for boating ( pedal/speed ).

The lake is very beautiful. There will find difficulty of getting a good restaurant nearby. It is a nice experience to do boating on the lake. Other than boating it is a good park with some modern facilities. Toilet in this park is not clean.

the experience was wonderful and i really liked the idea of putting so many children's attractions near the lake. The most shocking fact was that we have to chose from 8, 10 or 15 seater boats. tickets are not sold per person basis. this was extremely expensive if you go in small groups.

once the attraction of ooty was the boating in the ooty lake,but now especially in the may season the area is crowded with umpteen number of vehicles and shops and vendors. You can have a horse ride just outside the lake. Boating in a pedal or paddle one is interesting. If you are in a large group or has elderly... More
