Waduk Gondang Resort


Gondang Reservoir is located 19 km west of Lamongan, precisely in Gondang Lor village, District Sugio. To reach this location in addition can be reached by private vehicles may also use public transportation from Lamongan toward Gondang. Inaugurated by President Suharto in 1987. With an area of 6.60 ha and a depth of about 29 meters, the normal water capacity reached 23 million M3 capable of irrigating agricultural land area of 8412 Ha. 

 
Aside from being a source of agricultural irrigation, dams Gondang also functioned to supply the needs of drinking water in some areas in Lamongan and no less important is as a tourist destination to increase revenue (PAD). There, visitors can enjoy the beauty of the dam while fishing. There is also a boat to circumnavigate the reservoir area, and several other facilities such as children's play area, water bike, and mini zoo is home to a herd of deer, peacocks and other wildlife. In the forest around the reservoir area are often used for the camp. Not far from the location of the reservoir there is the tomb of Goddess Sekardadu, Blambangan daughter, wife of Isaac Kanjeng Maulana also called Mbok Rondo is the mother of Jake Gondang Ocean or Sunan Giri.Discovered in 1911 and restored in 1917 by the government. 

On holiday weekends and long holidays such as Eid and New Year, the number of visitors increased from a normal day with the increase could reach 300%. They not only from Lamongan alone, but also from nearby, began in Sidoarjo, Surabaya, Gresik, Jombang, Mojokerto Bojonegoro and Tuban. As stipulated in the law Lamongan number 13 in 2004, for each visitor charged entrance fee of Rp 1,500, - which of course became one of the PAD income. 

Potential reservoir Gondang actually still need to develop to attract more visitors. For example, by creating and structuring optimal gardens to beautify, memperhijau and refresh the area. Provision of children's play facilities are more interesting and fun.Management of a mini zoo and a better arrangement of small traders are more presentable. (From multiple sources)
