Ooty lake is a manufactured lake developed by John Sullivan, in 1824. The water streaming down mountain streams in the Ooty valley was dammed to frame the lake. The lake got to be unfilled on three events when it ruptured its bund. The lake was initially proposed to be utilized for angling with ships being utilized to traverse the lake. It bit by bit contracted from its unique size offering spot to the present transport stand race course, and the lake park. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation for the benefit of the Tourism Department took the ownership of the lake in 1973, for giving sculling offices as a vacation spot.

The NMR track is metre gauge and the railway is isolated from other metre gauge lines Between Mettupalayam and Coonoor, the line uses the Abt rack and pinion system to climb the steep gradient. On this rack section trains are operated by 'X' Class steam rack locomotives manufactured by the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works of Winterthur in Switzerland. These steam locomotives can be used on any part of the line (either with or without the rack section),but the newer diesel locomotives can operate on the entire section, between Mettupalayam and Udagamandalam.
