The Maharana Pratap Sagar (the Pong Dam reservoir) and its 42 kms length and 2 kms breadth, serves as a substantial inland sea that offers a variety of activities in close collaboration with Himachal Tourism and the Directorate of Mountaineering and Allied Sports. Year long activities include swimming, water-skiing, surfing, kayaking, rowing canoeing and sailing. Three levels of courses are also conducted beginner, intermediate and advanced. Facilities and services at the Maharana Pratap Sagar have been expanded in the past few years and now there are substantial buildings that also hold a cafeteria, accommodation and other support services.
Similar activities are also available on the waters of the Gobind Sagar near Bilaspur, the Chamera lake near Dalhousie and the Pandoh lake on the Mandi-Manali highway. Boating is also available on the Renuka lake in the district of Sirmaur. Regattas are organised at different points of year at various places. As the dates may vary from year to year, these and other details may be had from the offices of Himachal Tourism.
