'Built for the generation of hydroelectricity and irrigation, the Bargi dam is an important site in Jabalpur. Completed in 1990, it is among the 30 dams to be built on the river Narmada. The dam stretches across 5.4 km along the river and is 69 meters high. Along with being an important infrastructural development, the Bargi Dam also serves as a tourist attraction. The Bargi Lake formed at the catchment area of the dam is a favorable location for many tourist activities. You can enjoy cruise rides, speed boating, and water scooter rides in the lake. The area also offers bird watching and eco-tourism opportunities. '
