Also do enter your mobile number in the register so that they will call you for any emergency. Dont miss the Life Jackets and fastening them properly, the lake is very deep and has never dried in its long history, because it is fed by processed storm/drainage water.(Yes The water is not fit for Drinking carry your Drinking Water separately) There is an Island in the Center of the Lake please maintain atleast 50 Feet distance from the Island for 2 reasons One your boat might get stuck in the shallow waters and entangle your self in the water weeds and Two it is not safe to get too close to the Bird Nests some of which can be as wide as 6-7 Feet (Remember Spot Billed Pelicans) there will be baby birds with their Mama on Guard for sure!,
