    Calming and soothing at dawn. Lively and fun at dusk. Not much of a touring spot, but if you want a break from your 9-5, then this is the place for you. There's loads of road-side food shops for you to try, and there's pavement surrounding the lake for walking and jogging. It's not an overstatement when I say this lake is the pride of madipakkam✨

    Best place for a daily walk with family and children. Enjoy lake views breathing fresh air and relax in cool breeze. Its around 2.1 km circular walk, well paved all the way, you can find fast food eateries along the lake road.A bit crowded on weekends.

    Big lake with concrete area around to walk. Very nice place for an evening walk, around 5pm. Lots of trees and places to relax too. Good place for family and friends, with multiple entry points, shops nearby on one side too.

    This is a very pleasant Street with a spectacular view! Got a lot of affordable eateries over the side with a lot of choices. Great spot for hangout. If u wanna catch up a brisk walk in the neighborhood this is an ideal location. Though there are some litters thrown on the side of the lake which is very annoying.

  • 5/5 Koushik C. 6 months ago on Google
    A very big lake with a huge walking area. There is also a kids play area at the entrance. It is located in between a residential area and hence many people come there for walking, jogging, etc. The best time to walk there is in the morning at dawn or in the evening at dusk. Avoid this park when it is dark as the lighting arrangements in many parts of the walking area is not good.

    Lake view road is nice place for early morning walk and evening stroll. Morning is meant for walking, can walk along the lake side. Stone benches are placed at regular intervals for resting. Vegetables, Aloe vera juice and few others will only be available in morning. Evening eateries are opened and is good for munching. It is more crowded during evening than morning time.

    Good place for relaxation where you can able to see one side full of stalls and small small outlets where they will sell fruits and vegetables. And you can chill out with friends. There will be many chat shops which will be selling potato springle. Bread omlets. And you can able walk around the full lake. You will crossing three temples when you complete the walking. It is the best place to get relaxed and make fit.

    Calm and tranquil at dawn, vibrant and lively at dusk, this lake offers a welcome respite from the daily grind. While it may not be a typical tourist destination, it's a local treasure waiting to be discovered. With an array of street-side food stalls to tantalize your taste buds and a scenic pathway encircling the lake, it's a serene getaway. There's a small children's playground next to the water tank, though it can get crowded. The narrow walking path inside comfortably accommodates two people side by side. In the morning, vendors sell milk, curd, vegetables, and health drinks, while in the evening, you can grab quick bites. The lake may have seen fuller days, with some areas now frequented by grazing cows and tiny islands dotting its center. A notice warns of its depth, but you might even spot someone taking a dip. For the little ones, there's a play area with swings and slides, along with a gym for those looking to exercise. Overall, it's an excellent spot for a morning or evening walk. Surrounding shops make it convenient, and it's a popular place to hang out with friends, offering great views and a serene atmosphere. Best for daily family walks, the 2.1 km circular path is well-paved, and you'll find fast food eateries along the lake road, though it can get a bit crowded on weekends. While it may have changed slightly due to metro rail work and water pipeline projects, it's still a nice place to unwind in the evenings.

    One of the key spot of Madipakkam , Where this Lake is so Famous . Also if you had noticed, Ratchasan tamil movie opening scene was shooted at this lake only . I would say this needs to more developed in needed of people who visit this place below points which needs to added to this place for more convenient for all people . 1. Road must be enlarged quite a Long . 2. Since it’s a more people gathering place , The police ensures that the security must be increased for peoples safety . 3. Walking space for people who either walks or runs doesn’t have proper space to utilise this park . 4. Must needed !!! since there is no public toilets 🚽 near this place where people can may suffocated . 5. There must be more trees or plants should be planted to enrich nature and ecosystem. These are the things I thought which is missing and would a great useful for public’s use . Thanks.

    There is not a while lot to do in the locality of the lake. Overall it's a good spot to pull up and chat with mates. The stalls are not bad but definitely not outstanding. Food is not the best. The lake is cool to look at.

  • 3/5 Bhanu S. 11 months ago on Google
    Lake is fairly maintained. It takes about 30 minutes to walk around the lake. May be it stretches about 2 kms. One side of the walking path is inside the lake fence and the other side is outside where you can find lot of eat outs. The walking path inside lake is very narrow and 2 people can walk side by side comfortably. During morning you can find people selling milk, curd, vegetable, health drink, etc. During evening you can grab some quick bites. Lake might have been full long time ago as you can see some cows grazing where the water level has dropped and some land seen. There are tiny islands in the middle of the lake. There's a notice reading that the lake is deep but I saw a man bathing in the lake. Lake also has a play area for children with couple of swings and slides. It also has a gym for exercising. Overall, it is a good lake for a walk in the morning and evening.

    Madipakkam lake is a great energetic natural to start your morning with sunshine and chilling with friends and family in evening. It's well managed with path for joggers and a mini play spot for kids. Yummy street foods for everyone near the lake. Homemade pure vegetarian foods and snacks from Meera's Kitchen near the madipakkam lake is really delicious. During winter watching migrants birds is very nice. Madipakkam Lake.. Calm.. soothing and beautiful ! #madipakkamlake #interstellartravels #madipakkamdiary

  • 5/5 chandra s. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place for walking especially in the morning as well as in the evening. For food lovers there are shops for South, north Indian as well as chat items and beverages at a reasonable rates. To cover the total lake area it takes maximum half an hour and enroute you will find temples and once visited, you will find mind relaxing. Because of the calm atmosphere and pleasant climate, you will feel visiting the place often.

    Madipakkam Lake View is a nice and soothing place... The lake is surrounded with pavement path for walking, you can relax with family and friends in the evening and weekends. There are many fast food eateries and quick bite joints, many local peddlers with fancy items, vegetables and fruits, some book vendors too. The lake is nearby to famous Iyyapan temple, Lord Veketeshwara temple and Amman temple too. It's easily accessible from the nearest Madipakkam bus stop. Overall a descent place for hanging out with family and friends...

  • 3/5 Anish G. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is well maintained by the management . They made a lot of changes very recently , they now made a walk and runner path all around the lake . Which is boon to the marathon runners and joggers . The one thing which I finding it less interested is , it is immensely getting crowded nowadays. A lot of street food shop opened in the span of two years . You can see atleast a few set of young bloods throttling their bikes for a race. Other than that it’s a good place to spend time ..

    It has jogging track but you can see animal excreta at many places. Animals can be seen around the lake too. Fencing of the lake is broken at many places which allows cows and buffaloes in jogging track. No proper maintenance. Authority can charge some entry fee for proper up keep of the lake and jogging track.
