Kelageri Lake

Kelageri Lake is a scenic freshwater lake located in Kelageri village on the outskirts of Dharwad in northern Karnataka. Surrounded by gentle hills and open countryside, it is known for its calm waters, birdlife and sunset views. Developed as a recreational and boating destination, the lake serves as a popular day picnic spot for residents of the Dharwad-Hubballi area and offers a tranquil natural setting away from the city.

The area offers views of the water, migratory and resident birds, and sunset vistas. Visitors can stroll along the bund, enjoy pedal boating when water levels permit, photograph the landscape, and relax in seating areas. The setting is quiet on weekdays and more lively on weekends with local families and picnickers.

Kelageri Lake is a long-standing water body that has served as a water source for Dharwad and surrounding villages and was later developed as a recreational lake and boating destination for tourism.
