The lake is about {{convert|11|km}} away from Barisal city. Rani Durgabati, mother of Raja Joy Narayan, had the pond excavated in 1780. There is a small island in the middle of the lake; this island was originally not part of the lake – it was created artificially to beautify and increase tourist attraction.[http://wikimapia.org/10917211/দুর্গা-সাগর-Durga-Sagor দুর্গা সাগর (Durga Sagor) (মাধবপাশা গ্রাম (The Village of Madhabpasha))] Wikimapia
