Loading...Foy’s Lake is an artificial lake located in Khulshi area near Pahartali railway station in Chittagong. Located 8 km away from Zero Point. It was excavated in 1924 under the supervision of the Assam Bengal Railway Authority and was then known as Pahartali Lake. The lake was later named after a British engineer who helped design it.
