Ea Kao Lake
Hồ Ea Kao
A large reservoir on the southern outskirts of the city, ringed by pine forests and coffee plantations; a popular spot for locals to watch sunsets, camp and cycle.
Ea Kao Lake is about 10 km from the city center. Originally an irrigation reservoir, it has a wide water surface, with pine forests, coffee plantations and several lakeside cafés around it. Watching the sun set over the lake in the evening is a highlight. Lakeside camping and cycling around the lake for photos have become popular in recent years. Entry is free, though some cafés and campsites charge separately. Weekends draw many local visitors, so weekdays or the late afternoon are recommended.
