Tourism Information on
Balinsasayao Lake, Sibulan.
Twin Lakes of Balinsasayao
The Twin Lakes of Balinsasayao is also the habitat of
many birds and animals, some of which are also rare. Activities include
swimming, fishing, boating, trekking and kayaking. There is a clean restroom
and a small canteen selling beverages and light snacks
The area is surrounded by lush tropical greens and
vegetation. Age old trees, giant ferns and other exotic plants and orchids
are among its natural inhabitants. Wild rare vines freely cling to the barks
of the trees. The Almagica Tree, the tallest tree of the Philippines growing
up to 60 meters tall, can still be found here. It is also the habitat of
many rare species like the Japanese Night Heron whose presence in the
vicinity was recorded in the 1970s. The dipterocarp forest is rich in bird
life.
The lake is teeming with fish making it an ideal
fishing ground. The calm waters also make it perfect for swimming, boating
and kayaking or just sitting under one of the small huts to take in the view
and the fresh mountain air. Most people bring their own packed meals for a
lunch picnic in one of the cottages that may be rented. There is a canteen
selling drinks, bottled water and light snacks. A small restroom is also
available.
In recent years, there has been a threat by the local
cut and burn farmers known as kaingeros. Uncontrolled cutting of timber in
the Balinsasayao area has resulted to a reduction of the inflow of water to
the lake which has in turn, caused a fall in its water level.
