The area is now being developed, thanks to the efforts of a non-governmental organization called Save Coronation Bridge Committee. From a brief stop over point, the Sevoke Hill region is today a major attraction for both locals and tourists who visit the spot to revel in the beauty of the emerald waters, set against the backdrop of abundant foliage and lush green hills.
