Perfect destination for island camping and swimming on one of the shallowest water beauty of Karnataka is none other than jog falls. This place is around 400 kms from Bangalore and perfect outing destination which gives you relief from all stress and strain.

This back water is formed due to construction of Linganamakki Dam constructed on the Sharavathi River and outlet of water is used for generation of Hydro Power and then let in to World famous Jog Falls.

Before the construction of the Dam this water would pass through second highest plunge waterfalls of India which is Jog Falls and then creates another fall at Gersoppa and merges with Arabian Sea at Honavara.

Construction of the dam by Sir.M.Vishveswariah for hydel power generation and use of water for Irrigation, this water from Sharavathi River was blocked creating backwaters by submerging many mountains and villages forming many tiny Islands. The length of the backwaters is 65 kms and the width is 15 kms and depth is very shallow or frankly unknown.

This backwaters is originated in Thirthalli by stream Ambu Tirtha and flows through the Western Ghats as Sharavathi on the joins many tributaries and finally into Linganamakki Dam of Sagara Taluk of Shimoga Dist of Karnataka State.
