This is a serene lake located in the village of Luk Panenteng, in the Banggai Islands Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The name itself carries a unique meaning: in the local community’s language, “Paisu Pok” translates to “black water”. Despite its dark appearance when viewed from a distance, the water is actually as clear as glass. The lake has a depth of approximately 4 to 5 meters and offers breathtaking natural vistas and remarkable biodiversity. Visitors can enjoy stunning views, refreshing swims, and a tranquil escape into nature at this hidden gem.
