About This Place
Gregory Lake
Constructed in 1873 during the governorship of Sir William Gregory, Gregory Lake is a man-made lake surrounded by scenic beauty in Nuwara Eliya. Originally used primarily for leisure and recreation, the lake area remains a popular spot for water sports, picnics, and relaxation. In 1913, its waters were channeled to a hydroelectric power station at Blackpool, which still supplies electricity to the region. The lake continues to be a major attraction for visitors seeking outdoor activities and tranquil nature.
