Gregory Lake

Lake Gregory is a man-made lake located in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. It was created in 1873 by Governor William Gregory as a reservoir to provide water for the local population and for the tea estate factories. The lake is surrounded by picturesque hills and is a popular spot for activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. The lake also offers a pleasant environment for picnics and a chance to dip in the cool water. There are also a number of recreational facilities around the lake, including a playground, a fitness trail, and a canteen. The lake is also a popular spot for bird watching, with many species of birds found in the surrounding area. Visitors can also take a horse-drawn carriage ride around the lake or leisurely walk along the lake's promenade.
