Foy's lake

Foy's lake is a beautiful lake of Chittagong, Bangladesh

Foy's Lake,also known as Pahartalia (satellite town of Chittagong) lake is a man-made lake,  famous for its picturesque beauty.It has become a world class family amusement place. A high hill near the lake's edge affords   grand views of Chittagong and the Bay of Bengal.

Only 8 kilometers from Chittagong, here one can

enjoy boating facilities. And it's a popular picnic spot. One can spend your leisure time in a serene atmosphere of lake and hills.

Early in the morning it's a nice time to visit. On a cool day, walking is pleasant in the denuded hills around the lake. There is a zoo here, but it's a wretched place. 

 

It was created in 1924 by constructing a dam across  

the  stream that came down from the hills in 

the northern part of Chittagong. The purpose 

of creating an artificial lake was to provide water

 to the residence of railway colony. It was named

 after Mr Foy who was a Railway engineer.
