This reservoir is the source for irrigation water to Pilibhit and other parts of the north of Uttar Pradesh. The Sharda Sagar is 25 square kilometer in size of which the majority lies in Uttar Pradesh and some part in the northern side is in Uttarakhand. Nepal border is also nearby. Sharda Sagar is an interesting place to visit in winters when the eurasian and siberian birds migrate here and is worth watching. The Sharda Sagar is surrounded by the pristine Pilibhit Forest Division which is home to at least ten Tigers. There are log huts of Pilibhit Forest Division but food has to be arranged from Pilibhit.
