Located in the interior part of Terengganu,
Kenyir Lake is the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia. Covering an
area of 369 sq. km, it is also Malaysia's largest rock-filled hydroelectric
dam. Sharing its border with Kelantan in the west and Pahang in the south,
this immense lake also servers as another gateway to Malaysia's National
Park.
With about 340 islands, which were once
hilltops and highlands, more than 14 waterfalls, and numerous rapids and
rivers, Tasik Kenyir is also home to numerous species of freshwater fishes
and exotic wildlife. Surrounded by a lush tropical jungle, the Kenyir
Lake is a popular and ideal retreat for nature lovers, anglers, photo
enthusiasts and fun seekers. Some of the activities that could be carried
out here are fishing, watersports, canoeing, boating, bird watching, cave
exploration, and jungle trekking.
