A beautiful clean lake, with a measured 400m and 800m lifeguarded course during open hours. Family and dog friendly( dogs must be on a lead), with a cafe and showers. Swimming is the priority but SUP, canoeing and kayaking are all possible by arrangement outside of the swimming times.
Location
Getting there
There is parking on site for lake users during opening hours. We also have bike racks, so feel free to bring your own bike lock. The nearest train station is Hatfield Peveril which is some three miles away. There are no buses.
Accessibility
The walk from the car park to the water’s edge is approximately 200m over grass and gravel, with a slope ( and hand rail) leading down from the end of the car park to a concrete farm track. Cross this and walk on gravel and grass to the water’s edge. Access to the water is via a ramp with rails or a step down entry with a hand rail. The base of the lake is uneven mud and gravel.

Plan your swim
Before you go
- Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
- Lake water can be much colder below the surface (thermocline)
- Stay close to shore until you know the conditions
- Watch for boat traffic and stay visible with a tow float
- Check for blue-green algae warnings before swimming
Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
