Tasik Kenyir or Kenyir Lake is an artificial lake located in the state of Terengganu in northeast Malaysia created in 1985 by the damming of the Kenyir River. It is the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia. The lake covers 260 km² and contains 340 small islands. Although an artificial lake, the area has been successfully developed for eco-tourism, and there are many resorts around its shores. Fishing is popular, as are jungle treks, waterfalls and caves. Because the lake is a reservoir, the water level can vary depending on the month. The water level is highest (and the lake consequently the most beautiful) in March and April. According to the locals, the best season for fishing is August when the water level is lower.

For hydroelectric dam please refer to Sultan Mahmud Power Station.
