Water Sports
The Govind Sagar Lake, with its 56 km length and nearly 3 km breadth, offers a variety of water-sports activities in collaboration with the Directorate tourism and Civil Aviation and Directorate of Mountaineering and Allied Sports. Due to seasonal water level fluctuation watersports are mainly confined to one half of the year, from August to January. During this period, the activities include swimming, surfing, water-skiing, kayaking, rowing, canoeing, and white water river rafting. Courses are conducted at three levels – beginner, intermediate and advance. For this, the Tourism Department of Himachal Pradesh has constructed a Water Sports Complex in Luhnu Ground, Bilaspur, with boarding, lodging and equipment facilities. River rafting is making Bilaspur a focus for this sport.
