Tourists can traverse beside the lake through winding paths around the lake.[2] Tourists visiting the lake can also engage themselves in Trout fishing.[4] A trout hatchery is established near the lake, from where visitors can get fishing rods and other fishing accessories required for trout fishing.[5] The lake is also used by tourists as a camp site wherein they pitch tents near the lake. Other tourist activities in the area include rafting across the lake and trekking the nearby hilly regions[6] like Upper Bhavani where there are thick forests and untouched wild habitats.[5] See also{{Portal|Tamil Nadu}}
