A crater lake immediately east of Lake Bishoftu, with a more rounded, gentler profile. The Hora Recreation Centre on the western shore is the long-running lakeside park — pedalos, paddleboards, a small zoo of African game animals, and a cafe sit above the water.
The lake is the cultural heart of the Bishoftu cluster. Beyond the annual Irreecha thanksgiving, the site is a year-round meeting place for Oromo families — most visibly on Sundays when Addis residents drive down to picnic on the lawns above the water.
