    Tips

    Washburn Reservoir sometimes goes by the name 'West End'. So called due to the name of the village that was flooded to create this water body. When the reservoir is low, the village reappears.

    It is a popular place for walking and like the other reservoirs in the Washburn Valley is stunning in the autumn. The section below the dam is used for white water kayaking.

    If you have read 'In a Dry Season' by Peter Robinson, this is the reservoir that inspired his novel where a flooded village is exposed in drought and a body found.
