HANNA LAKE
A little short of the place where the Urak Valley begins and 10 kms from Quetta is the Hanna Lake, where benches and pavilions on terraces have been provided. Golden fish in the lake comes swimming right up to the edge of the lake. A little distance away the waters of the lake take on a greenish blue tint. Right where the water ends, pine trees have been planted on the grass filled slopes. The greenish - blue waters of the lake provide a rich contrast to the sandy brown of the hills in the background. One can promenade on the terraces.
