Kenyir Lake – Serenity in the Rainforest

On the Eastern border of Malaysia’s National Park, Kenyir Lake, a man-made lake, sits serenely within a 130 million year old rainforest.  The Kenyir River was dammed for a hydropower station and hilltops and highlands in the area became islands as the Kenyir Dam was filled to create the lake.

This largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia is now an ecotourist destination.  There is a host of things do, from fishing, jungle trekking, island hopping, caving, bird watching and taking a dip at the many streams and waterfalls on the islands and shores.  And do give Snakehead fishing a shot.  Its quite an adventure as narrated by Andy Pearson in his blog.

This video by thestaronline shows the sights of Kenyir Lake.
