 Lake Kerinci covers an area of 4,200 ha. This lake is sorrounded by
mountains and hills. We can see the lake from several point of view in
the central Kerinci such as Pesanggrahan where we can see the lake from
above,Tanjung Hatta, Seleman Village in which we can see Laheik House
(traditional house of Kerinci) and Pulau Tengah Village where we can see
Dolmen Batu Raja and Mesjid Keramat Pulau Tengah. Around the lake we
can also find several carved stones,the archeological remains of
Megalithic Age.
Every year there is a big celebrtion in the area of
the lake Kerinci Recreational Park called Lake Kerinci Festival(Festival
Masyarakat Peduli Danau kerinci). The festival first held in 1999, this
week-long cultural event celebrates the lake's importance as a vital
source of fish and livelihood for opportunity to see many kinds of
traditional Kerinci dance and hear local music. During the festival, the
park grounds are also littered by a sea and stalls selling local foods,
fruits and snack items as well as souvenirs and other goods.
