Tringalwadi Lake

Tringalwadi Lake is an artificial irrigation reservoir located in Tringalwadi village near Igatpuri in Maharashtra's Nashik district. Built in 1978, the lake sits at the base of Tringalwadi Fort and offers panoramic views of the surrounding Sahyadri mountains and the fort ruins. It serves as a scenic spot for visitors and trekkers heading to the nearby historic fort, providing a serene natural setting amidst the rugged landscape.

Visitors can expect a calm artificial reservoir surrounded by mountain ranges and forested hills at the foothills of Tringalwadi Fort. The lake area provides reflective water views and serves as a starting point or resting spot for treks to the adjacent fort. The environment is generally quiet with limited commercial development, offering opportunities for photography and nature observation rather than organized recreational activities.

The lake is associated with Tringalwadi Fort which dates back to around the 10th century and was strategically built to overlook ancient trade routes connecting Konkan to Nashik. The fort changed hands between Maratha rulers including Shahaji and Shivaji, Mughals, and British before being surrendered in 1818. The irrigation dam creating the lake was constructed in 1978.
