Yercaud Lake

Natural Emerald Lake at the heart of Yercaud, known for boating and lakeside walks.

Yercaud Lake, also called Emerald Lake, sits near the bus stand and is the natural centre of this Shevaroy hill town. It is often described as the only natural lake among major South Indian hill stations, with a garden shore and a floating fountain. Pedal and row boats are the main activity, and Anna Park edges the water for easy walks. Most itineraries start here before looping out to viewpoints.
