Ennerdale Water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (488 words) |
 | Ennerdale Water is one of the smaller lakes in the region of northern England known as the Lake District. |
| Ennerdale Water is a popular destination for hikers, tourists and cyclists, but not by any means as popular amongst tourists and visitors as other lakes in the National Park, and thus has not been spoiled by construction, activity on the lake or any other trappings of intensive tourism. |
| Ennerdale Water is a glacial lake, at its deepest only 45 metres (150 feet), and measures between 700 and 1500 metres (1/2 mile to a mile) across and 3.9 kilometres (2 1/2 miles) long. |

| Hard to access for the motoring tourist and given a brooding atmosphere by the millions of conifers imposed in the 1930s Ennerdale is lucky in that it is not as frequently visited as busier Lakeland vales. |
| The head of the valley is clear of forest and the valley bottom is dotted with drumlins, remains of the glacliers retreat. |
| Since 1864 Ennerdale Lake has been used as a water supply for West Cumbria and in 1902 a shallow weir was added to what is probably a glacial moraine to maintained the level at 112.3 metres AOD. |
