Calling the Bicholim Taluka in North Goa its home, Mayem Lake may be a popular picnic spot nestled amidst the scenic vistas of a sleepy Goan hamlet. Surrounded by hills carpeted by thick forests, it hosts a line of vendors along the banks, selling delectable snacks, refreshing coconut milk and trinkets. The placid waters of Mayem Lake are ideal for boating and therefore the Goa Tourism Development Corporation runs the Mayem Lake Resort, which offers inexpensive accommodation in dormitories and self-contained cottages.

Popular attraction nearby include the Corjuem Fort, Rudreshwar Temple, the residence and therefore the chapel of the erstwhile Count of Mayem etc. on the way to the present place may be a small drinking fountain that was constructed in 1927 and as indicated by the plaque, supplied water to the residents.
