Ramsagar National Park, National park with artificial lake in Dinajpur District, Bangladesh
Ramsagar National Park is a protected area in Dinajpur built around a large artificial lake that forms the center of the grounds. The park has walking paths around the water, shaded rest areas, and open spaces where visitors can move freely among planted trees and vegetation.
The artificial lake was commissioned in the 18th century as a major construction project in the region. This water storage system reflects an important period in the area's history when managing water resources was essential for the local community.
The park maintains records of 272 plant species, including mango, jamun, tamarind, and marking nut trees, which hold significance in local traditions.
The park is set up for casual day visits with open paths that are easy to walk in regular shoes and no steep slopes. Visitors coming with children will find shade and open space to explore, though medical facilities nearby are limited.
The lake and its banks are home to wildlife including foxes, jackals, and wild cats that visitors may spot with patience and luck. Water birds like kingfishers and herons are often seen in early morning hours when the park is quieter.
