| Sketch map: Carnforth and Pine Lake |
Pine Lake is a small holiday resort just outside Carnforth chiefly notable for its Winter ducks which may include smew or even ringed duck.

| Pine Lake |
Starting from Carnforth Station, it's a short walk to the bus stop on Hawes Hill, by the side of the Station Hotel. The 555 bus between Lancaster and Keswick runs hourly during the day and it's just one stop to Pine Lake. Alternatively you can walk down Market Street and turn left onto the A6 Scotland Road, past the little roundabout by the truck stop and on to the big roundabout where the dual carriageway to the M6 joins the A6. The road to Pine Lake is the second exit. Take care crossing here, the roads can be very busy.
The lake is surrounded by holiday chalets though there are a few places where you can sit by the water's edge. For all that you're in a little island stuck between the A6 and M6 it can feel quite secluded.
