About this Place
The Tamilnadu Tourism Boat House is the main organized activity on Ooty Lake, an artificial lake created in 1824 and managed by the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation. It is one of Ooty's most visited attractions, offering a serene escape amidst eucalyptus-covered hills and lush greenery.
Visitors can enjoy various boating options, including pedal boats, row boats with drivers, and motor boats, providing different experiences from leisurely paddles to faster group rides. Beyond boating, the area around the boat house has evolved into a comprehensive recreational complex.
It features a mini-train for children, an amusement park (Thunder World/Dinosaur Park) with rides, a 7D cinema, horror and mirror houses, horse riding, and cycling facilities. Numerous shops selling local souvenirs and chocolates, along with food stalls and a food court, add to the festive atmosphere. The tranquil waters and misty surroundings make it a popular spot for families, couples, and groups seeking relaxation, fun, and picturesque views.
