A nice place to visit and take a picnic. You can have a go on a pedalo, shoot balloons with an air rifle, have a go on the funfair and even have an ice cream amongst other things. Another impressive area built for families.

I found it to be a very good spot for taking photos, the more you explore the more better your snaps come out. Enjoy the boating too.

it was fun to ride the boats. I visited once in 2011. the water was much less than 2011. The small "trains" for tourists looked really funny. too bad i didn't get a ride with my family. the view was amazing. we took some pics.

This dam creates the lake on the outskirts of Islamabad.Two sides have been developed.One is on the way to Murree which is the newer on,has lot of parking and a whole park with boating etc.Huts are built there and one can take food there and have a family picnic there. Do take time out to visit once in Islamabad.
