Rawal lake is a nice place to see during the evening time. The lake is surrounded by hugely spanned parks as well as a new ATV track. So if it gets boring you can always thrill yourself with some ATV riding. :)

Rawal Lake was a place known for it's peacefulness for the last 5 years. But after it's redevelopment recently it have become a public place and its peace and beauty has been destroyed. Now this place is known for its dirt. Really disappointed for it.

Rawal Lake is a prominent land mark adjecent to the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It offers a variety of activities for the fun lovers. Apart from water sports, it also has lot of rides for kids. A climbing wall is the latest addition, and attracting lot of people.

The lake is beautiful but due to pollution the water is not safe for swimming or fishing, but activities around the lake attract youngsters for jet skiing, boating and racing tracks, resturaunts are so so

Rawal Lake used to be my favorite picnic hangout on every weekend with my family where we used made baskets of fruits and other munchies and spend hours running about the lake while occasionally going into the lake in a wooden boat.
