The boat house offers boating facilities with Paddle boats, Row boats, and Motor boats. It also features a garden, a mini train and an amusement park. Ooty lake is an artificial lake constructed by John Sullivan, in 1824.

The water flowing down mountain streams in the Ooty valley was dammed to form the lake. The lake was originally intended to be used for fishing with ferries being used to travel across the lake. It gradually shrunk from its original size giving place to the current bus stand race course, and the lake park.

The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation on behalf of the Tourism Department took the possession of the lake in 1973, for providing boating facilities as a tourist attraction. The lake is surrounded by groves of Eucalyptus trees with a railway line running along one shore. During the summer season in May, boat races and boat pageantry are organized for two days.

I was pleasant when seeing the huge lake in the center of the city. we used pedal boat for boating. they also provided the safety jackets while boating. it was good experience to boat inside the lake surrounded by trees. Not only boating there is also many activities for kids. its also good place for shopping,where you can find all ooty products and fancy items.

Ooty Boat House is one of the most beautiful places in Ooty.There are many game activities for kids. Boating is available. A pedal boat is a good choice for couples.Motor Boats also available for groups.Though the rates are given for boats for 8 seaters or 10 seaters, you can wait and make a group and share the cost.

Ooty Lake is known as boat house is a famous tourist spot in Ooty. Boating is a highlight in this spot but you have to wait in long queues for the boat rentals. There is a small food stall and also there are a lot of eatables shops near to the lake. The evening is the best time to visit this spot.
