Quick Facts Location, Coordinates ...

It is filled by the Pick Burn, which then flows on to join the River Don as Bentley Mill Stream.[2] The lake was originally built by the owners of Woodlands, a country house that lent its name to the model village built for the miners of Brodsworth Colliery.[3]

The lake now forms part of High Country Park[4] and Woodlands wildlife park, run by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, whilst Woodlands is now a social club. Doncaster Greenway North passes to the north of the lake alongside the A638 road.[5]
