Description

Due to the fact this lake is so large, almost like an inland sea, windy weather conditions can make the surface very rough, making waterbird identification difficult. The North Y shaped arms are more sheltered and many birds use these areas during poor weather. The South end of the lake is very deep and the sides are steep, shallowing as you go further North. There are two bird hides, one in the South and one at the North shallower end. There is one car park on the West bank and four on the East bank. The surrounding area comprises of farmland and good sized woodland.

Accès

The A30 that runs between Launceston and Okehampton runs quite close to the Lake, look for road signs to Broadwoodwidger and Roadford. Just before you get to the dam there is a car park on the right, because of the large size of the lake major footpaths are concentrated at the South end. Travel by car to the Northern and better bird area.
