Visitors can enjoy peaceful boat rides while admiring the mist-covered hills that encircle the water body.
- Bryant Park: This meticulously maintained botanical garden is situated on the eastern side of the lake and spans over 20 acres. It features a diverse collection of hybrids, grafts, and exotic plant species, including a 160-year-old Bodhi tree.
