History
On western side of the lake, it is protected by a bund which was the brain child of Sakthan Thampuran. In his letter to the Collector of Malabar in 1802, he proposed a bund to control the salt water. The Keecheri River and Viyyoor River joins Enamakkal Lake.[2][3]
In 2018 December 9, a steel bridge was inaugurated across the Enamakal lake connecting Manalur and Enamakal.[4]
