Lake Bishoftu

Lake Bishoftu, which lies immediately south of the town center, is the closest to the rest of the town.
The lake is accessible via a steep cattle path, and is often frequented by tourists and locals alike,
particularly during the warm summer months, where they have been known to swim within its waters.

Lake Hora

Lying one kilometer to the north of Bishoftu, Hora lake is the largest of the five, and is one of the most traveled with boats often seen upon the lake.
For this reason, it is not advisable to swim far into its depths, however there are a number of jetties along its shore with boats and captains for hire.
The price is dependent on the length of the trip, however a good guide price is around 40-60 birr per boat.

Lake Cheleklaka

A fleeting seasonal lake, that only forms during the rainy season (July-August) and slowly dries as the sun re-emerges from February onward.
Home to a range of indigenous birds, eagle eyed visitors will spot the countless groups of pink feathered flamingos and migratory cranes bobbing in its waters.
These birds usually frequent this lake during the early months of the year, migrating to cooler climates as summer approaches.
