Wilson Dam, Bhandardara

Built in 1910 across River Pravara, Wilson Dam is situated at a height of 150 m above sea level. It’s one of the oldest dams in the country. The opening of sluice gates creates two 60 to 80 feet cascades of water that plummet to the rocks below. When gates are open it creates a fall called as Umbrella falls. Garden is made at its base. Walking over the dam is prohibited and is under CCTV surveillance.
