Enamakkal Lake is a fresh water lake situated in Enamakkal of Thrissur District in Kerala State, India. ^[1] The lake covers about 25 square kilometres.

History

On western side of the lake, it is protected by a bund which was the brain child of Sakthan Thampuran. In his letter to the Collector of Malabar in 1802, he proposed a bund to control the salt water. The Keecheri River and Viyyoor River joins Enamakkal Lake. ^{[2] [3]}

In 2018 December 9, a steel bridge was inaugurated across the Enamakal lake connecting Manalur and Enamakal. ^[4]
