Overview

Rawal Lake is Islamabad and Rawalpindi's main reservoir, formed by Rawal Dam, with Lake View Park on its shore offering boating, gardens, a small train and a cable car, one of the twin cities' most popular family weekend spots.

History

Rawal Dam was completed in 1962, before Islamabad itself was fully built, to supply water to the growing twin-city area; Lake View Park was developed on its shore in the decades since as recreational demand grew alongside the capital's population.
