Best peaceful area in karnal, here you can boating and much more, also there is many food stops

Very nice place to visit with family and friends. Lake is large. A lot of ducks and fish are there. EV Charging station available here. A restaurant cum bar maintained by Haryana tourism is also there. Well maintained park with swings, sitting areas and couple friendly points. Boating is available at reasonable prices. It is very neat and clean place. One may enjoy weekend evenings here. Not much crowded. Karna Lake is a major tourist attraction in the Karnal district of Haryana. It is located at a distance of 125 km from both Chandigarh and Delhi, thus serving as a midway halt while traveling between the two cities on the famous Grand Trunk Road. Folklore has it that Karna, a famous character from Indian history, who played a major role in the war of Mahabharat, used to bathe in this lake. It was at this spot that he gave away his protective armor to Indra, the Godfather of Arjuna, Karna’s arch-enemy. It is surmised that the city of Karnal derives its name from Karna-Taal, which translates to Karna Lake. That may also be the reason for Karnal to be called the City of Karna in local parlance.

Great place for picknick spot … although all the area of karnal is clean but this place also looks very clean and airy … greenery surrounded it all over this lake is full of fishes bucks tortillas ducks …. Many ancient Vedic acharya statues are situated hear all made up of bronze … in between the pond a curve shape house is available between the lake there are a lot of bats are hanging upon the trees that thing I first ever saw … clean and cold breez are flowing here… it is situated in front of DAV public school … only 1.2 ~1.4 km away from karnal bus stand and only 400~500 m away from NH44 highway you can easily go there by foot …..

Good place to hang out with kids on weekends, boating facility is available in the lake. Also there is a 12d theatre for kids to enjoy.

It is very nice place to visit, specially with family. There is kids zone, boating, and canteen available. For kids zone game and fun charges are 50-100 and boating start with 300, can change as per time. I would recommend to go there for mood fresh for those who can't go so far. Very pleasant.

Beautiful place to go and enjoy with family, couple or with friends. Lake is beautiful, boating available. Cafe with good options to have snacks.

Quite place for a day picnic. Boat ride is available. We stayed at the resort of Haryana Tourism, which is on the lake itself. So you can view the lake day and night . Great experience.

This is a very old Bar Restaurant and Hotel on National Highway near Karnal. It's around 500 mts from the main national highway. There's a small artificial lake where small padel boats are there for hire. Bar and Restaurant are old government type interior and furnishings. Lake view is the main attraction from the seating inside Airconditioning was not that effective. Service although is bit better than expected from such places.

Nothing special for fun part of your visit. Boating is their but seems too costly so no fun again. Only good for locals for walking purpose on the periphery of the lake.

Beautiful spot to relax during day. Also nice midway spot between Chandigarh and ISBT New Delhi

Great ambience, parking available, you can swim in lake but water is very dirty. Changing room, toilets available without charges. Evening and morning view is awesome.

Beautiful lake in the city....v stayed thr for a day and enjoyed a lot 💯

Go in the evenings for a quiet boat paddling adventure. You will definitely get to see some ducks on your water ways. If you can't paddle they have a motorboat on board. Prices are reasonable and food and other kids activities are there to be explored. 😁

Karan lake is good place to visit with family for a short trip and you will have a great lunch , dinner options here and the boating areas so good hair you will try different types of boats and if you are with kids they will find amazing fun there the park is also very good so you can do picnic here with Lake view and the quack quack of duck so the kids will play with them. And no tension of parking is totally free ... Must please to visit if you are going through this area

Going to karna lake is a total wastage of time. The lake lacks cleanliness though you can do boating. Hardly any item mentioned in the long list displayed outside the fast food joint is actually available. The whole place is very unkempt and you feel there is just nobody to look after it. Noone seems to be bothered. Being under state tourism department such utter neglect is very disappointing and it is strongly recommended not to visit the spot and waste your time

Beautiful lake in karnal named karnal lake. At 100-200meters distance form highway. kids friendly place you can do boating(Charges 250 for 2 and 400 for 4 pesron). Have some rides and Food court is also available with good variety of food and snacks most of the items are on mrp. Haryana tourism restaurant and bar is also there with good service and good food.

A lot has changed here now, had been last in 2012, beautification done around the lake, but lake s still not clean, people litter everywhere in the country. Overall nice place must visit

Big lake. You can also enjoy boating here. Price currently is 250-300₹ for half an hour for a 2 person boat. Bit expensive but worth the experience.

I visted this place while i m travelling back to delhi from chandigarh..... Very beautiful n amazing place for bus stays.... We stopped here for lunch... Very beautiful lake... Love the ambiance .... There is a very beautiful park and haunted house is also there in the premises

Nice place but lot of dust garbage and stray dogs
