Well, there are only two suspended lakes in the world and one of them is located in Nigeria, Oyo State to be precise. It is the only suspended lake in Africa.

The Seven Mysteries of Ado Awaye 1. Oke Ishage (Ishage Rock): This is the first It is a vertical standing rock which has been standing for centuries. The legend behind this rock is when there is famine or lack of rain in the town. The chief priest comes to the Rock with a white cloth to cover the piece of Rock. According to local sources, once this is done, it will rain within the next four days. 2. Odo Iya Alaro (Iya Alaro Lake): This is another lake at Ado Awaye named after a woman specializes in the art of tye and dye. Several years after the death of Iya Alaro. The lake still retains the tye and dye look though it has been abandoned for many years. It has lush green vegetation growing over it which made it not suitable for drinking or bathing. 3. Elephant Tree: This elephant tree at Ado Awaye is a fallen tree with root looking like the head of an elephant. The formation of this tree with eyes, trunk and the head that looks like that of an elephant. It has become a favourite spot for taking pictures. 4.

5. Iyake Suspended Lake: Iyake lake seems to be the most popular of all the attractions at Ado Awaye. Its popularity is because of Iyake lake. It is the only suspended lake in Africa. Iyake lake is also known to be the god of fertility. 6. Agbomofun Iyake: This can loosely be translated as take the child and give to Iyake or carry the child and give to Iyake. The legend behind this place is whenever there is water in the hole, whoever puts their legs in that hole will be drawn to the bottom of the lake. 7. Ese kan Aiye ese kan Orun: This part of the mountain is a narrow section almost like the valley.
