LEONARD LAKE

Located sixty kilometers from Davao, it's a fairly small lake, barely six hectares in size. It is in fact a crater lake, as Mount Leonard is an active but dormant volcano. On certain sides of the lake, small fumaroles can sometimes be seen, suggesting that a volcano lies well below the lake. The lake is home to many species of colorful butterflies and a few rare specimens of Philippine crocodiles, increasingly threatened by human pollution.
