Marble Lake
মার্বেল লেক
A small lake formed in a disused quarry pit. Ringed by layered rock walls and filled with emerald water, it is known as Purulia's little canyon lake.
The lake was originally a mining pit left behind when stone was quarried during construction of the upper dam. Once it filled with water, it became a deep pool ringed by steep rock walls, with clear blue-green water. A rocky path lets you climb to higher ground for panoramic shots. There are no fees or facilities, and the rock edges have no railings, so take care. Swimming is prohibited. It is only a few minutes' drive from the upper dam and is often the first stop on the loop.
