The Bhavanisagar Dam
The Bhavanisagar Dam and Reservoir, also called Lower Bhavani Dam, is located on the Bhavani River between Mettupalayam and Sathyamangalam in Erode District, Tamil Nadu, South India. The dam is situated some 16 km (9.9 mt) west to Satyamangalam and 35 km (22 mt) from Gobichettipalayam, 36 km (22 mt) north-east to Mettuppalayam and 70 km (43 mt) from Erode and 75 km (47 mt) from Coimbatore. The dam is considered to be among the biggest earthen dams in the country. Bhavani Sagar dam is constructed on Bhavani River, which is merely under the union of Moyar River. The dam is used to divert water to the Lower Bhavani Project Canal.
There is a garden in front of this dam, which makes it a good picnic spot in this area. There are a few things that children could play with (like swings, etc.) and there is also a small closed channel of water for boating, shown in the below picture. A nice picnic spot for spending a day.
