Pawna Lake

Pawna Lake was created when the Pawana Dam was built west across the Pawana River, which comes from the Western Ghats. The earth-fill gravity dam created a water reservoir with a capacity of 0.24 km3, the primary water source for the Pimpri-Chinchwad (Navi Pune) area.

The beautiful scenery is covered in a green carpet and has historically significant forts like Lohagad Fort, Tikona Fort, Tung Fort, and Visapur Fort. It was an important area for military purposes, particularly evident from the strong defenses, which are hundreds of years old. Because Pawana Lake is in the Western Ghats, it is a natural haven for plants and animals.
