Gregory Lake is a serene and picturesque body of water located in the charming town of Nuwara Eliya, nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's hill country. The lake is surrounded by lush green hills and towering trees, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation and contemplation.
The lake is a man-made reservoir that was built during the British colonial era in the late 19th century. It was named after Sir William Gregory, the governor of Ceylon at the time, who was instrumental in its construction. The lake covers an area of approximately 91 acres and is fed by several streams and springs that flow down from the surrounding hills.
The lake is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy its natural beauty and serene surroundings. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the lake's perimeter, enjoying the cool breeze and stunning views of the surrounding hills. There are also several small parks and gardens dotted around the lake, providing the perfect spot for a picnic or a quiet moment of reflection.
For those who prefer a more active experience, there are plenty of activities to enjoy on and around the lake. Boating is a popular pastime, with pedal boats and rowing boats available for hire. Fishing is also a popular activity, with the lake stocked with a variety of fish species, including trout and carp.
Overall, Gregory Lake is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Nuwara Eliya. Its natural beauty, tranquil atmosphere, and range of activities make it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the stunning scenery of Sri Lanka's hill country.
