Take a virtual fly over of the Blue Lake at St Bathans.

The Blue lake was naturally formed following the end of the gold mining era in the early 1920's.

The lake is approx. 69 m deep and has a speed restriction of 5knots.

This makes it unsuitable for powerboats, and is enjoyed by swimmers and kayakers. Please respect these rules.
