The '''Marsar Lake''' is an [[oligotrophic]] [[alpine lake]] in [[Aru, Jammu and Kashmir|Aru]], [[Anantnag District]] of the [[Kashmir Valley]] in India. The lake is one of the several lakes dotting the Aru valley and is famous for its scenic beauty.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/marsar-lake.html|title=Marsar Lake Pahalgam|publisher=Tour my India|accessdate=2016-09-29}}</ref> The lake is separated by a mountain with a minimum peak elevation of {{convert|4000|m|ft}} from another lake of the same nature known as [[Tarsar Lake]]. Due to their close proximity and similar physical characteristics, the two lakes are often called as the twin sisters.<ref name="Tarsar marsar twin sisters">{{cite book | author=S. L.

Tarsar-Marsar Trek is one of the highly opted treks of the Kashmir Valley. A stream emerges from this lake, which travels through the Dachigam valley and enters Srinagar near Harwan garden where it fills the Sarband reservoir. This stream (Dagwan Nallah) is joined by another stream which flows from Mount Mahadev near the Telbal village and from thereon it is called the Telbal nallah which is the primary source of Dal Lake.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tarsarmarsar.com/|title=Tarsar Marsar Trek |publisher=Trek The Himalayas: A World of Trekking And Exploring|accessdate=2016-09-30}}</ref><br />
