Completed in 1986, the Muhuri Irrigation Project controls tidal surges from the Bay of Bengal while irrigating over twenty thousand hectares of farmland. The centerpiece is a 40-vent coastal regulator set where the Feni, Muhuri, and Kalidas-Pahaliya rivers join into a wide estuary. Visitors stroll across the regulator walkway to watch fishing boats work the tideline, and seasonal fishermen sell fresh fish directly at the sluice gates. Afternoon breezes off the water bring cooler air, though shade is limited on the open embankment.

Located in Sonagazi, about 35 km south of Feni town. Take a local bus or CNG auto-rickshaw from Feni to Sonagazi town, then another CNG to the dam; takes about 75 minutes.
Feni town is about 151 km from Dhaka, around 3.5 hours by road. Every way to get there is in the Feni guide.
High winds can make walking along the open dam difficult during summer depressions and monsoon storms.
