Dal lake is a freshwater lake.
It is in Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir. The lake is important to the fishing industry in the region, and houseboats floating along the lake are a common sight in Srinagar. The lake is surrounded by the Shankaracharya hills on three sides and remains frozen during severe winters. According to a popular theory, the lake is believed to be an oxbow of the river Jhelum flowing through Jammu and Kashmir. The surrounding areas have woody vegetation, and the fisheries make fishing the second most prominent occupation in the region. The urban lake has tourists visiting, which benefits the union territory’s economy.
