Ooty lake is the prime attraction of Ooty and is an artificial lake that was constructed by John Sullivan in 1824. The lake was made by making dams run by the waters from the river and which flowed down to the valley region. The main motive was to help fishermen for making fishing ferries here. The lake is beautiful and is surrounded by eucalyptus trees and on one side there is a railway line. You can hire boats of all kinds from the boathouse here. Tamil Nadu Tourism Department has opened the Boathouse here. The main activity of Ooty lake is boating. During the summer season, many boat races and pageantries are held here.
