10 km from Kuala Berang and about 55 km from Kuala Terengganu is Tasik Kenyir, Asia's largest man made lake. Covering an area of 369sq km, it is the site of Malaysia's largest hydroelectric dam.

When the area was flooded with water, most of the hills were above the water level and resembled some 340 man made islands. Surrounded by a lush tropical jungle, the Kenyir Lake is a popular retreat for nature lovers, anglers, photo enthusiasts and fun seekers. There are facilities for fishing, swimming, canoeing, boating and jungle trekking. The lake has a wide variety of fresh water fish such as Baung, Toman, Kelisa and Lampam.

Accommodation in houseboats, floating chalets and lakeside resorts is available.
