Yercaud Lake & Boat House (Emerald Lake) - Emerald dreams await!

The Yercaud Lake was originally a natural pool of water. It was later developed into a proper lake during the British colonial era to provide a source of drinking water for the town and to enhance the scenic beauty of Yercaud. The British also introduced boating facilities to attract tourists. Over the years, the lake has become the focal point of Yercaud, drawing visitors from all over the world. While specific historical figures are not directly associated with the lake's initial creation, its development reflects the British influence on the region and their efforts to establish Yercaud as a popular hill station. The lake has been continuously maintained and improved to preserve its natural charm and appeal.
