Kukkarahalli Lake (evening)

Kukkarahalli Kare (lake) spread over 580,000 square metres (58 hectares) is located in the heart of Mysore city.
It adjoins the University of Mysore, Kalamandir (and Rangyana), and the CFTRI campus (separated by the Hunsur Road).
It once used to provide water supply to the city of Mysore evident by the water pumping stations. At one time sewage,
excessive land grabbing almost led to the ruin of the lake, efforts are being made to preserve it both by the University of Mysore
and the citizen forums of Mysore. It now houses a boating center.
The lake used to feature a creaky iron watch tower(within the lake) about 100 feet from the shores.
The only existing walkway around the lake had some rusting iron seats with iron grill and Bougainvillea providing shelter.
The lakes fence was a hedgerow.
Upgradation of the lake by the University of Mysore has added walkway around the lake (3.6 km).
