| Foy's Lake artificial lake constructed
by the assam-bengal
railway in 1924 near Khulshi not far from the Pahartali Railway
Station in chittagong.
This lake is fairly big in size and was created by erecting an embankment
across a narrow valley from one hill top to the other. Geologically, these
hills are composed of dupi
tila formation.
There is another artificial lake close to the south of the Pahartali
Railway Station, which was excavated by the same railway authority
in 1920. Both the lakes are tourist spots of Chittagong City and
are regularly visited by local and foreign tourists.

Foy's Lake, Chittagong |
In order to attract more tourist, a mini-zoo has been
set up at the entrance of the Foy's Lake. Both the lakes are intended
to serve as reservoirs
for drinking water to the extensive railway areas of Chittagong. [Sifatul
