About
A scenic artificial lake built by the British in the 1890s as a public garden, surrounded by walking paths and boat rentals, offering views of the surrounding hills.
Did you know? Built by the British in the 1890s for recreation, the lake was named after the district commissioner at the time, making it one of Shillong's few landmarks actually named after an individual rather than a place or deity.
