    Beautiful, neat and clean lake situated in Yercaud. It has different boating options which include row boat, speed boat and paddle boats. You need to pay entry fees post which you need to pay for the boat ride. Amazing experience. Perfect location to spend quality time with family and friends. Must visit place in Yercaud. Lot of small shops around the lake. Also many hotels are located closeby. There's a nice lake park apne the lake.

    A landscaped garden by the side of Yercaud lake. The garden is reasonably well-maintained, though visitors and tourists spread a lot of trash and make sure that the staff are kept busy.. The periphery of the lake has similarly been rendered dirty by visitors who throw plastic covers & paper tea cups into the water Many photoshoots are done here, and apparently a couple of movies too were shot here..

    Yercaud is inexpensive tourist place for family or friends to go for a nice get together. Weather will be awesome. A morning walk from your living destination to Yercaud lake is memorable one.

    One of the better maintained lakes in Tamilnadu. They are trying to make it attractive. They've got pedal boats, row boats and motor boats. Pedal boats can be operated by tourists themselves for 30 minutes,there are 2 seater and 4 seater pedal boats. Motor boats caan be enjoyed for 10 minutes. It's mandatory to wear life jackets while on the boat. They've got a small refreshment stall near the boat house overlooking the lake. South Indian snacks and beverages of the variants of Tea & Coffee are available. It's a great relaxation after a boat ride. Good work TTDC!

    Boating facilities are available in the lake. This is operated by TTDC. Boating was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. However, the lake definitely needs to be cleaned to make it more attractive to tourists

    Beautiful lake with trees and park located at the heart of Yercaud town. The ring road that surrounds the lake offers a quick ride. Boat house make it even more interesting to visit this place. Speed boats and pedal boats are also available. A 30 minutes window is offered for a pedal boat ride which can accommodate from 2 people and more. Note: Do visit this place for a boat ride right at lunch time to skip the queue.

    This place is 52 Kilometre from Salem, Tamilnadu. You can get frequent buses from Salem new bus stand. Frist place to visit Yercaud is lake. We can do boating there. There are lot of options available, pedal boat, manual boat for 30 minutes ride. Weather is awesome in October and November. Salem to Yercaud you will get 20 hairpin bend, which fells you very excited.

    1. Boating is always crowded, during govt holidays. No proper arrangements. 2. Good to go in bulk in a motor boat or row boat with assistance. If couples go for a pedal, to have a good time. 3. Lot of petty shops outside to get eatables, sovereign and all. 4. Descent car parking.

  • 4/5 Ajay A. 4 years ago on Google
    Rent a row boat, motor boat or just take the pedal one and have fun around the lake with views of the hills and just the sparkling water. We were here almost during sunset and it was just a pretty sight. Life jackets are mandatory which is good from a safety aspect especially for folks like me who donโ€™t know swimming. The pricing though I felt is expensive

    I could see the lake need to cleaned and maintained better. Also, more variety of sports can be included here for better tourists attraction. People from Bangalore who are from different states come here so improving tourists attractions can help develop Yercard taluk income itself better.

    Too crowded. Boat ride fares are not informatively displayed. I ended up buying an 8 seater ride for 3 people even though the board said it was a 4 seater boat. They promise a 10 minute ride but it did not last even 5 minutes. Best to avoid.

The view from this lake is amazing and boating experience was very nice.

    Winter is the best time to visit. We took two passenger boats with the skipper. It was a 30min drive to round up the lake. The weather was very pleasant. Kids will enjoy it a lot. Not a very crowded day. Take a good picture around the lake for future memories. Life jacket provided for all passengers. This is one of the main attractions of yercaud hills definitely worth to try. #Localguides ๐Ÿ“ #guidingstars โญ #Guiding_people_to_right_place

    Yercaud lake is the centre of attraction for the city. It was just 4 minutes drive from my Hotel GRT. When we were driving to the lake we got confused about the entry for the boat house . If you are coming from GRT you will find it on the opposite side of the ooty chocolate factory a giant entrance will be there . You have to pay INR 30 for parking the car inside, actually I parked my car near the boat house entrance. We have to buy tickets for the entry to boat house area the ticket charges are as follows Adults: INR 10 per person Kid: INR 5 per person After going inside you have to select your boating options and buy the tickets, available options are as follows: 1- Motor boat: up to 8 person can sit here and it will cost INR 600 per 10 mins 2- pedal boat: INR 200 for 30 mins 3- Row boat: INR 20/ for 30 mins We took motor boat trip and it was fun

    Itโ€™s scenic place no doubt - with best background you can ask for !! But pretty crowded on weekends . Parking - figure it out on your own. Option- for boating both peddle and motor boat available. Place is not that well maintained - for such a popular tourist spot

  • 4/5 Ankit Gems & A. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful Scenic lake. When we visited, there was no visibility due to mist everywhere. But we loved the atmosphere and weather ๐Ÿ˜

  • 2/5 kalai.k 0. 3 months ago on Google New
    A small Entry fee must be paid at the entrance. Then approach the booking counter inside to pay for boat. Motor boat is 600rs for just one round. Since the lake is relatively small, entire ride will be finished within just 5 mins. The driver would not stop/slowdown anywhere even for a second to enjoy the view unless you pay him extra. Better to take pedal boat which you can enjoy 30 mins. But young children are not allowed in pedal boat.

  • 4/5 saranya v. 8 months ago on Google
    Worth visiting but be prepared to experience some cramps if you choose pedal boat, it is so tiring for 30mins but is very calming n fun!
