Another
one
of
Colombo's
most
popular
places
to
picnic,
relax,
and
go
boating
or
running
is
Bere
Lake.
This
man-made
lake
(not
to
be
confused
with
its
larger
neighbor,
Beira
Lake)
is
surrounded
by
a
lot
of
green
space,
yet
it's
right
in
the
middle
of
the
city.
The
area
is
also
filled
with
jogging
paths,
and
it's
a
great
place
for
running
and
biking.
There
are
swan
boats
you
can
rent
and
paddle
your
way
around
the
lake.
There
are
some
snack
shops
and
a
floating,
fine
dining
restaurant.
The
restaurant
is
on
a
boat
and
floats
around
during
a
dinner
cruise.
Bere
Lake
has
its
own
island
(connected
by
a
suspension
footbridge).
The
island
is
a
popular
spot
for
couples
to
take
romantic
walks.
Elsewhere
in
the
lake,
there's
a
small
Buddhist
temple
(Gangarama
Seema
Malaka)
set
into
the
water
on
several
piers.
The
lake
is
a
great
location
to
take
photos,
especially
at
night.
You
have
a
beautiful,
outdoor
environment
with
the
skyline
of
Colombo
as
the
backdrop
