Loweswater is a mile in length, half a mile wide and 60ft deep. It drains into Crummock Water to which it was once joined. The Vale of Lorton in which it lies is very peaceful still, and receives few visitors, perhaps making it one of the most attractive of all the lakes.
Loweswater is selected by both walkers and rowers, as you can hire boats from the National Trust Watergate Farm at the south eastern end of the lake.
The lake is owned by the National Trust.
