Devoke Water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Devoke Water is a small lake in the mid-west region of the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria. It is the largest tarn in the Lake District.
It lies on Birker Fell, 1km to the west of the road between Ulpha and Eskdale, at an altitude of 770 feet (223m). It has a depth of 46 feet.
It can be reached via a bridle track. There is a two-storey stone boathouse-cum-refuge and a ruined stable. Devoke Water has an outlet in the northwest, via Black Beck, which, after a short distance, plunges over rocks down a 26ft cascade, towards the River Esk.
