Temenggor Lake


Located approximately 35 kilometres to the north-east of Gerik and covering an area of 15,200 hectares, the Temenggor Lake is the largest man-made lake in Perak.

Its beauty and tranquility together with the diverse flora and fauna to be found makes this area an ideal place for tourists and nature lovers. Also scattered around this area are small orang asli settlements whose livelihood depend much on the vast tracks of jungle around them.

The lake is also an important source of fresh water fish and the area attracts fishmen all over Malaysia. Fishing competitions are held every year.
