A relatively small pond in a wooded bowl partway up the East side of the Blorenge Mountain, it has gently sloped grass banks and bed for ease of access but does have boulders in the bed, can be weedy in high summer.
A good site for short dips, sunbathe and picnic.
There is a public footpath running along the East side on the old earth dam so expect to be seen.
