History of Rawal Lake


JuteVilla
The rock formations are 40 million years old, and fossils of marine life abound everywhere bearing eloquent testimony that the Margallah hills were at one time under the sea.

The area around the lake has been planted with flowering trees and laid out with gardens, picnic spots, and secluded paths. The terraced garden and the lake are used for picnics, fishing and boating. The highest point in the garden offers a panoramic view of the lake, Margalla and Murree hills, Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

The reservoir is of considerable importance for wintering waterfowl, especially Anas platyrhynchos.
