Hanna Lake, located in the vicinity of Quetta, Pakistan, is a popular attraction nestled in the hills of the Urak Valley. This picturesque lake was constructed during the British colonial era, around 1894, primarily for water storage purposes. Over the years, it has become a favored picnic spot for locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by rugged mountains and the sprawling greenery of juniper trees and wildflowers, the lake presents a serene, almost mystical vista. The waters are home to myriad fish, and migratory birds often visit, adding to the lake's natural charm. The iconic Hayat Durrani Water Sports Academy offers various aquatic activities, making it a haven for water sports enthusiasts. Hanna Lake freezes in winter, providing a snowy spectacle, while in spring and summer, the lake is alive with vibrant flora and boat rides. Despite its beauty, Hanna Lake has faced water depletion. Conservation efforts are ongoing to preserve its splendor. The lake's history, recreational options, and the breathtaking, tranquil environment it provides makes it a gem of the Quetta region.
