Kopi Dedemit Rawa Gede is a highland recreational area centered around a small lake located in the Sukamakmur district of Bogor. The site features wooden bridges spanning the water and proximity to natural waterfalls in the surrounding hilly terrain. It serves as both a viewpoint for the lake and a venue offering food and beverage service. The geography is characterized by its elevated position in the West Java highlands, which provides a cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands. Visitors access the lake via established walking paths that integrate with the local topography.
