Ooty Lake

Ooty Lake is a scenic artificial lake built in 1824 by John Sullivan, stretching for 2.5 km amid eucalyptus and pine forests in the Nilgiri Hills. Offering pedal boating, motor boating, and a miniature train ride along the shore, this beloved landmark is central to Ooty's identity as Tamil Nadu's most popular hill station and family tourism destination.
