TWIN LAKE

Twin Lakes are two lakes that are located


close to each other and have almost the same
size. Although familiarly referred to as the
Lake Above and the Lake Below, the naming
is actually inversely proportional to the
reality. The lake with a higher position is
called the Lake Below, while the lower lake
is called the Lake Above. Lake Diatas has a
depth of 44 meters, while Lake Bawah
whose deepest point is at 884 meters from
the water surface, a depth that is quite scary for a lake, even the local people do not dare to
take boats to the middle of the lake.
Twin lakes are located in Solok Regency, precisely in Alahan Panjang. Consisting of two
lakes, Lake Above is located on the side of the Padang Muara Labuh road. While Lake
Bawah is located in the village of Bukit Sileh, Lembang Jaya District. Lake Above and Lake
Below are often referred to as 'twin lakes' because they are located side by side, only 300
meters apart.

The difference that affects tourism activities in


these two lakes is the ease of access. Lake
Above has easy access to reach, even a car can
drive to the edge of the lake. In addition to the
clear blue water, the scenery around the lake is
also very soothing to the eyes. Guaranteed to be
at home for a long time here. Relaxing by the
lake is a very pleasant thing to enjoy a weekend
getaway.

The clean lake coupled with the natural scenery around it


seemed to wash away all the fatigue from the daily
routine. Because the location of the lake is in the highlands
of Bukit Barisan, it makes the air around here feels very
cool. There are lots of fun activities to do in Twin Lakes
such as Tracking, Outbound, water sports, and many more.
In addition, you can also visit the other lake easily, with
the distance between the two lakes only about 300 meters.

The activities of vegetable farmers are an exciting sight


that can be found here. For those who like fishing, it will definitely feel comfortable when
fishing in the twin lakes while looking at the active gutter volcano there. The Twin Lakes
area also has extensive and distinctive agrotourism such as tea, flower and passion fruit
plantations. For the facilities around the Twin Lakes themselves are very complete, ranging
from places to relax to restaurants are very easy to find here. In addition there are also several
cottages that can be rented to stay.
The natural beauty of these twin lakes makes tourists comfortable on vacation here. Highly
recommended for visitors who want a family vacation while seeing the beautiful natural
scenery and fresh air.
