Enamakkal Lake is a fresh water lake situated in Enamakkal of Thrissur District in Kerala State, India.[1] The lake covers about 25 square kilometres.
History[edit]
On western side of the lake, it is protected by a bund which was the brain child of Sakthan Thampuran. In his letter to the Collector of Malabar in 1802, he proposed a bund to control the salt water. The Keecheri River and Viyyoor River joins Enamakkal Lake.[2][3]
