The West Lake or Dak Mil Lake in the central highlands province of Dak Lak is a place that has little traffic and few tourists, but is rich in natural beauty and the culture of minority hill tribes.

Located in the center of Dak Mi District, the West Lake has 40 hectares in area, 2 kilometers in length and is divided into two branches stretching along the 14th Highway.

The lake was formed 50 years ago to provide irrigation water for agricultural production. This lake is regarded as the pearl of Dak Mil. The road around the lake is an ideal place for the inhabitants to breathe the fresh air, take a stroll and admire the beauty of nature on every early morning.

In recent years, Dak Mil’s authorities have invested money in upgrading this site with various lakeside projects such as roads, parks, fountains, trees,… to further exploit the potential of this scenery.

This is one of the three top lakes in Dak Lak.
