One of the biggest inland waters in the South West, this lake which is cared for by South West Lakes Trust, is surrounded by a variety of natural habitats.

There are nature trails and footpaths to different areas of the lake, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the peaceful water and woodland on a walk or bike ride.

There are way-marked walks to follow ranging from an accessible 30 minute walk right up to a 13 mile hike.

A bird hide enables you to take part in a spot of wildlife watching.

There a map with walking route round the lake here.
