Gil Sar (IPA: /ɡilʲ/ /sar/) is a lake located in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The lake is named after Moorhen which is called Gil in Kashmiri language. It is in a highly deteriorated condition due to encroachment.{{cite web | url=https://www.greaterkashmir.com/opinion/restore-glory-of-khushalsar-gilsar-lakes/ | title=Restore glory of Khushalsar, Gilsar lakes | date=6 August 2023 }} The lake is sometimes considered a part of the Khushal Sar lake but is separated from it by a narrow strait, which is spanned by a bridge known as Gil Kadal.
