About Ennerdale Lake

Longlands Lake in Cumbria was created in 1939 due to the collapse of the ground from the old iron mining industry. It is located near the River Ehen between Cleator Moor and Egremont. The lake is now part of a small country park managed by Cumbria County Council, providing a peaceful place for wildlife and people to enjoy.

The lake is managed by the Wath Brow and Ennerdale Angling Association, who regularly stock it with rainbow trout. There is a wheelchair accessible platform for fishing, as well as other casting platforms around the lake. Some areas may have steep banks and trees, making fishing a bit challenging, but the lake is a good spot for fishing in an area with few stocked stillwaters.

You can get day permits to fish at Longlands Lake from Farrens shop in Cleator, Udales Newsagents in Cleator Moor, and Wathbrow Post Office.
