Hidden Lake Penang

Hidden Lake Penang is the name given to one of the several former quarries in the southern part of the island that have filled with water, creating stunningly beautiful and secluded lakes. These lakes are often characterized by their brilliant turquoise or emerald green water, a result of the mineral content of the surrounding rock. The dramatic landscape of the quarry, with its steep cliffs and vibrant water, creates a surreal and highly picturesque scene.

These "hidden lakes" have become very popular destinations for hikers, adventurers, and especially for photographers and Instagrammers who are drawn by the unique and beautiful scenery. Access is often informal and can require a bit of trekking, which adds to the sense of discovery and adventure in finding these beautiful, hidden spots.
