Caliraya Lake
The Caliraya Lake is a man-made lake located at Lumban, Laguna situated at 1,200 above sea-level. This is certainly one of Laguna’s summer hotspots where local and foreign tourists visit every year. There are two possible routes to be able to reach the Caliraya Lake. One is via the South Luzon Express Way while the other one is via Antipolo.
Activities at Caliraya Lake
Water Sports. I’ve seen people who are windsurfing there. There are also other tourists who even brought their own speedboats and jet skis and some are having the time of their lives on their canoes and kayaks. Of course, you could rent jet skis there from the resorts surrounding the Caliraya Lake.
Camping. I’ve seen a campsite there and there are a handful of pitched tents. This is indeed perfect for nature lovers and for people who really wanted to stay away from technology for a short time.

Boat Ride. The best time to take the boat ride around the like is around 7 to 8 in the morning and around 3 to 4 in the afternoon. We tried the boat ride around 11am and there are certain parts at the Caliraya Lake where you will feel the heat on your skin. Also, I suggest that you take your camera along the boat ride because there are a lot of beautiful sceneries there.
Fishing. There’s a fishing alley with picnic huts at the Caliraya Lake Recreational Center. You could go to the Recreational Center via a boat ride which is free of charge according to the signage I’ve seen there.

[...] Me and my family just had a trip to Caliraya Lake. We just stayed there for about an hour or two and it is quite near from our house in Siniloan. Guesstimating, it’s about a 30-minute drive from our place there. When we arrived, the parking lot is almost full and we should not be surprised at all since it is Holy Week. Of course, not all people are in Boracay, Puerto Galera or (insert a summer hotspot here in the Philippine territory). After having a photo op there we had a boat ride around the Caliraya Lake. The picture above is just one of the sceneries that I’ve seen at the Caliraya Lake. The picture reminded me of a certain game in Nickelodeon channel and I cannot remember its name. I do hope I could go back there next time and pitch a tent and go fishing there with a couple of friends. I only experienced fishing at a fish pond (for tilapias) when we had a vacation with Mom ages ago. I think I was still in grade school at that time. More pictures of our trip can be viewed at my Multiply album. [...]

There are other lakes in the Philippines which is like Lake Caliraya. I have been bitten by the travel bug and has been doing a lot of traveling. There is a website which has helped me a lot – http://www.hoparound.net. It gives you an excellent listing of fiestas, where and when it is held. What’s great is that you will also see a list of micro tourism service providers per location. So you can plan your trip to the fiesta you want to visit and arrange for the services you would need during your stay even before your leave your place by using the internet.
