Hiking
It is sheltered and there is a small beach which is ideal for a picnic.
It is quieter than many of the tarns in the Lake District and we had it to ourselves on a Saturday.
But be prepared for cold water, even on a hot summer's day as it is 510 meters (1,673 feet) above sea level. It feeds into Haweswater via Small Water Beck.
