Lake Balanan

Lake Balanan is a 25-hectare freshwater lake in Barangay Sandulot, Siaton, Negros Oriental, Philippines, about 45 kilometers south of Dumaguete City. Formed in 1925 when an earthquake-triggered landslide dammed the Balanan River, it is surrounded by forested mountains and dipterocarp trees. The hourglass-shaped lake is known for its calm waters, scenic mountain backdrop, and tranquil setting within a protected forest area.
