Another major lake in the district is the Nainital Lake which lies amidst the spellbinding town of Nainital. The clear water is home to various species of fish like ‘Mahasher’. It is famous for boating. According to an ancient lore, the lake is said to be formed when the angry Lord Shiva dropped the eyes of his beloved dead wife, Sati. Its peculiar pear shape attracts a large number of tourists every year. But seeing its present overcrowded condition and the massive increase in construction, the Lake Development authority (LDA) has abolished any new construction in Nainital, so if you are thinking to own a dream house in Nainital, you will have to settle with an old one. This has lead many real estate agencies to shift their focus in the nearby areas like Mukteshwar, Bhowali and Sattal for their construction projects.
