Mohamaya Lake was originally created by constructing a dam across the Mohamaya canal for irrigation projects and water resource development. Later, due to its immense natural beauty, surrounding hills, and streams, it transformed into an attractive tourist spot.
Visitors coming here get the opportunity to boat or kayak in the clear waters of the lake. Hiking can be done along the hilly trails surrounding the lake, and there is a beautiful waterfall located here. During the monsoon season, the charm of this waterfall becomes even more captivating. The surrounding hills, green forests, and the Mohamaya Rubber Dam are the major landmarks of this area.
It is easily accessible by road from Dhaka or Chattogram. One can board any bus heading towards Mirsarai or Sitakunda from Dhaka or Chattogram and get down at Thakurdighi Bazar. From there, one can take a CNG-driven auto-rickshaw to directly reach the Mohamaya Lake project site.
