Located a little less than an hour’s drive from Colombo, Bolgoda Lake is known as the largest freshwater lake in Sri Lanka’s Western Province. It has a northern and a southern basin joined by the Bolgoda River, and the water reaches the sea through an estuary at Panadura.
Apart from being a serene place that offers breathtaking views to its visitors, people can enjoy various fun activities such as fishing, water skiing, kayaking, jet-skiing, canoeing, and sailing. Many good villas, resorts, and restaurants are also situated at the lakeshore for the ones that wish to stay or enjoy a good meal when they visit Bolgoda Lake.
