I was looking through the Google map on a certain day and j saw this large body of water in a area Ive always known, I thought it was a bug on the map, so I switched to satellite View and it was still there, I had to read about it and eventually marked it for a visit.I visited it 2 weeks after the discovery, it looks unreal, its even more awesome that I discovered it through Google maps. ☺️☺️
Strabag is a pool of water from the rock. It covers about 400m in length 200m in breath. It is fenced by government, for the safety of the community. If fund is ejected it could form a source of good recreation center.
It is a great place in Ibadan.. I have taken the place as our own local centre of attraction. I could remember a day I saw a catfish as big as my three sitter chair in the lake... It was so awesome
Nice to view, and perfectly constructed with walls.
Awesome site to behold, the lake shows the beauty of nature, with awesome history records, this site can be utilized and turned into a recreational center. Located in a residential area, and provides some sort of calmness and cool weather in the community.Most times this sites floods the area anytime there is heavy downpour, the community suffers from flood which has been largely controlled by the building of drainage.
Its okay for sightseeing
This place needs to be developed... According to residents, the lake is a dreaded one because some familiar spirits have made the place an abode. No one goes close to it...Yet from my assessment as a Geologist, I see its an abandoned mining site. Surface excavations resulted in a gigantic basin. I presume the miners hit an aquifer that recharges more than they could control, and that produced the dreaded lake...I urge Governor Makinde to look into projects like this. It can really take tourism in Oyo to new level...That is Geoheritage preservation...
Great sight, but needs development
Its a really beautiful lake, looks so Serene and peaceful. But now it has a fence around it, we learnt from the locals that people used to get drunk and fall into the lake so the Governor built a fence around it to prevent people from getting in.So we stood at the fence at one of the top points and could see the lake inside, thats all now.We did see a gate at the opposite side tho, not sure if they open up for people to get in, although I doubt that.Oh its also a bit of a hike to the point we got to, so probably dont go when the sun is hot.
Deep
Strabag lake is a quiet place with good natural feel of nature all around. One will feel relax and have clear thought when around this lake. Improvement is possible in keeping the environment more tidy and attractive.
Nice 1
Very Serene and natural setting. The lake is a lovely view and very relaxing. I would love to spend every evening here and watch the sun go down. Its a most beautiful site
Not an ideal place to hangout. Poorly maintained too. It is located deep in Egbeda local government of Ibadan. Around Alakia, Airport road. Filled with unkempt grasses and bushes. It has very few visitors and fun seekers. If you want to have fun, dont go there. Few restaurants and eateries around.It does not have a very good view. You might see people mostly during the weekends.
In fact the GOD IS GREATThe lake is realIts located at alakia area around adegbayi
Ok
Nice place now been fenced fir security reasons
Such a nice lake to visit supernatural
A cool sight to appease the eye during the rainy season but not secured....wouldnt advise u go with kids cos there are no barricades to the lake...
Its a good place for relaxing, very serene and quiet. Its attractive and a place to visit for tourist.
A very good lake but dangerous at times
It a nice place but sincerely need attention of government so as to make the place a relaxation center
The place would have been good for a recreation center of the government can work on it and renovate the place.
It is a very big river, but please dont swim there, because it is very dangerous.
Cool
Nice place that could turn to tourist attraction but lacks attention from the government of the day
It is is a very nice for tourisim place
Is a very beautiful place
Needs urgent attention. Artificial lake with zero maintenance.
Fresh air, palm wine tooNice bar
This place is unsafe. Expecially for children and people who cannot swim.Nice view however for an artificial lake.No barricade.No caution signsThe location is a little isolated so be careful of your personal safety.The depth is not sloped gently, rather its a sharp dangerous depth.I believe the place can be transformed to something better. But for now, history has shown it to be a death trap.
Looks beautiful and scary
Nice tourist attractions. You will love it.
A nice quiet place where one can relax.
Great water view

Serene environment.
Too deep
Great for fishing
Death trap! Government should take possession of the lake. It has claimed lives of no fewer than 20 residents.
A frightening sight from above but an interesting sight to see
Not a tourist center but with government hlep..it can be..Government just need to just take a look at it
The lake is kind of dirty now, but can be taken care of by the government
Area with stagnant deadly pool.
Cool weather
