Temenggor Lake

Temenggor Lake (29 April, 2017)


Temenggor Lake (GPS: 5.55072, 101.33583) is a large man-made lake in Perak, Malaysia. Located in Hulu Perak District, about 45 km from the district capital, Gerik, it is the second largest lake in Peninsula Malaysia. The lake was formed when the Temenggor Dam was built in 1978.

Located in the middle of the lake is Pulau Banding, a man-made island formed by the rising waters of the dam. The East-West Highway passes right through Pulau Banding. It is carried across by Jambatan Tasik Temenggor, a set of two bridges which at 880 meters and 640 meters are the longest bridges along the highway.
