Kunduvada Lake

Kunduvada Lake, also known as Kunduwada Kere, is a large urban lake located about 5-6 km west of Davanagere city in central Karnataka. It is a historic man-made tank originally built for irrigation and water supply, now developed as a recreational and eco-tourism spot. The lake is notable for its expansive water spread, surrounding park and boating facilities, and as a seasonal habitat for migratory birds.

Visitors can expect a large open lake with calm waters surrounded by a developed park and garden area, walking paths and seating. The site offers pedal boating on the lake, birdwatching opportunities especially in winter, and open spaces for picnics and photography. The surroundings are semi-urban with agricultural fields and city outskirts, providing a quiet natural setting for leisurely walks and sightseeing.

Kunduvada Lake is a historic tank constructed to store water for irrigation and drinking water needs of the Davanagere region. Over time it has been maintained and developed by the district administration and Davanagere Urban Development Authority as an urban water body and recreational lake.

The lake serves as an important community recreation space for Davanagere residents and a local eco-tourism site, valued for leisure, family outings and seasonal birdlife.
