Fylde Coast Series #5 - Fairhaven Lake (Lancs)
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The 5th in a series of caches placed around the Fylde Coast in Lancashire - this one is at Fairhaven Lake.
Fairhaven Lake is one of the borough's most popular attractions. Situated between Lytham and St Annes, the freshwater lake is positioned directly on the coast next to Granny's Bay and Stanner Bank. It is about 3/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide but is only 4ft deep at its deepest.
The lake accommodates many recreational uses including motorboat, canoe and rowing boat hire. For the less adventurous there is an electrically powered motor launch equipped to carry up to 20 passengers around the lake on a 10-15 min cruise. The lake is open for boating for the 6 months from April to September - weather willing! A shame as I would loved to have stuck a cache on one of the islands! Other lakeside facilities include an all year round café and RSPB building.
There is a large selection of wild fowl naturally based at the lake including a group of more than 150 Canada Geese, several Swans (including a solitary Black one) and many coots, water hens and other smaller fowl.
The cache container is a 35mm film canister.
