In recent years, areas surrounding Pawna lake and Pawna lake Reservoir have seen a rapid rise in tourism due to the waterbody’s proximity to Lonavala hill station and forts such as Lohagad, Tikona, and Tung. Various camping-sites have been started around Pawna Lake. Agro-tourism has also flourished. Pawna Lake attracts visitors mainly from the two major neighboring cities of Pune and Mumbai. Around 4,000 people from these two cities visit the lake every weekend.
