Kenyir Lake, Artificial reservoir in Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia
The water surface stretches across 260,000 hectares, featuring 340 small islands and reaching depths of 145 meters at its lowest points.
The construction of Kenyir Dam in 1985 created this reservoir to generate hydroelectric power and control flooding in the Terengganu region.
The lake maintains 300 fish species, including the Malayan mahseer and green arowana, supporting local fishing traditions and ecological research.
Visitors access the lake through boat rentals at designated points, with August offering lower water levels suitable for fishing activities.
Dead trees beneath the water surface create an environment where algae grow, forming natural fish breeding grounds throughout the reservoir.
