'''Karna Lake''' is a major tourist attraction in the [[Karnal]] district of [[Haryana]].<ref name=karna1>Page 153, Tourism: Theory, Planning, and Practice, By K.K. Karma, Krishnan K. Kamra, Published 1997, Indus Publishing, {{ISBN|81-7387-073-X}}</ref> It is located at a distance of 125&nbsp;km from both [[Chandigarh]] and [[Delhi]], thus serving as a midway halt while traveling between the two cities on the famous [[Grand Trunk Road]]. Folklore has it that [[Karna]], a famous character from Indian history, who played a major role in the war of [[Mahabharat]], used to bathe in this lake. It was at this spot that he gave away his protective armor to [[Indra]], the Godfather of [[Arjuna]], [[Karna]]'s arch-enemy. It is surmised that the city of [[Karnal]] derives its name from ''[[Karna]]-Taal'', which translates to [[Karna]] Lake. That may also be the reason for [[Karnal]] to be called the ''City of [[Karna]]'' in local parlance.<br />
<br />
Karna Lake is maintained by [[Haryana Tourism Corporation]].<br />
