Not really a lake at all but a part of Portsmouth Harbour and Ports Creek, Tipner Lake came into being after a parcel of reclaimed land was built on the north side of Horsea Island. It's a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a wetland conservation zone, thriving with marine and birdlife. There's a traffic-free cycle and footpath along the lake's eastern side and here, next to the Mountbatten Leisure Centre, you can enjoy views across the entirety of the lake. It's tidal, and wrecks are revealed at low tide.
