Ado Awaye, a town nestled in the heart of Oyo State, Nigeria, is home to a natural wonder that continues to captivate visitors: the Iyake Lake. Perched atop a mountain, this suspended lake offers a unique and breathtaking experience, drawing tourists and nature enthusiasts alike.

The Iyake Lake is a geological marvel, its waters mysteriously held within a depression on the mountain's peak. The lake's depth and source remain a subject of local folklore and scientific curiosity, adding to its mystique. Surrounded by lush greenery and offering panoramic views, the lake provides a serene escape and a stunning backdrop for photographs and exploration.

The journey to Iyake Lake is an adventure in itself, involving a hike through the rocky terrain of the mountain. Upon reaching the summit, visitors are rewarded with the sight of the tranquil lake, a testament to nature's artistry. The site is also rich in cultural significance, with local guides sharing stories and traditions associated with the lake, enhancing the visitor's experience.

Ado Awaye Lake is among the two alpines in the world !!

Why in Yoruba land. Ehn. Anyways it's more like a pond

This kind of lake is always on this very color. Why?

That's not the only lake on a mountain in Nigeria. I know of a massive mountain in ikare (oke atan) that has a massive body of water.

Even Idanre Hills has a lake.
Idanre is located in Ondo state

Yes, I've been to the one at idanre on many occasions. It is called Omi Aopara, (Thunder Water or Thunder River)

Nothing special about this location as long as the government can not make it a tourist site and would agree to sell it to those who would, its a fucket up place

Wow.. So fascinating, I was told it can really sink.. Wow

what is the name of the mountain?

Beautiful lake.
Wouldn't call it a mountain though, more of a hill or a plateau.
But what of mambila , does it have any lakes?

There's no mountain in Nigeria

We have rocks and hills

its called a crater lake. I did a primary school project with paper mache on crater lakes.

EDIT: so i just discovered it is a suspended Lake not a crater lake and there are only 2 in the world.

A wonderful site for tourism. But our leaders prefer to go to other countries to spend money instead of developing our own.

God is great! God bless Nigeria, at all at all they said is bad

Lovely, I like to see people that will believe they can swim in it

This is beautiful and awe inspiring. See how calm and lovely it looks from the picture. Would love to visit there when next I visit IB.

This is where Helinues needs to be baptized.

He needs to be cured.

That's not a mountain, it's a rock.
There's a huge difference between both

Everything is your leaders. Are your leaders also stopping you from going to this site?

By the time states & regions start managing & controlling their resources, such sites will be turned to money spinners.

Yes, sounds more spiritual though, nice monument.

Which kind lake be that?

We have mountains in Plateau , vom and Pankshin LGAs

This is not ordinary lake, don't try to move near it

The mambilla plateau mountains have a lake too so that’s not the only one in Nigeria

I don’t think he has travelled around Nigeria much
Mambilla alone is full of a mountain complex that spreads for 60km
