The tranquil waters of Shivsagar Lake are a haven for boating and fishing activities, while its surrounding areas are popular for trekking and exploring dense forests, rich in biodiversity. The lake also serves as a lifeline for several nearby villages, providing water for irrigation and hydropower generation. With lush greenery around and the serene ambiance, visitors often find this to be the perfect getaway from the bustle of city life. The lake's backdrop against the dam offers a stunning view, especially during the monsoon when the region flourishes with flora and fauna.
