Pedu Lake (GPS: 6.23586, 100.83827) is a big man-made lake in Kedah. It is located in Padang Terap District, near the border with Thailand. The lake is formed by Pedu Dam which rose the water of Sungai Pedu turning some of the hills into mere islets in the water. Covering an area of 75 sq km but fluctuating according to season, it is one of the biggest lakes in Kedah.

The size of the three man-made lakes in Kedah, Pedu Lake, Muda Lake and Ahning Lake, fluctuates according to season. Both Pedu Lake and Muda Lake are the biggest in Kedah at different times of the year.

There used to be a couple of resorts on Pedu Lake. However, these resorts have closed down since 2007.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
