View of Pedu Lake from the road to its south.

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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
