'What better place in Chandigarh to reconcile with nature than the Sukhna Lake, nestled in the serenity of the Shivalik foothills? This three-km-long man-made lake, created in 1958, is swarming with locals as well as tourists from dawn to dusk, irrespective of the changing moods of the day. Mornings at Sukhna Lake are accompanied with a stream of joggers rushing along the adjoining promenade while a few others like to meditate savoring the melodious humming of birds. Picnics, boat rides and water sport activities like water skiing, sailing and kayaking are a common sight at the lake during the evenings. '
