Kenfig Pool, covering an area of 70 acres is the second largest freshwater lake in south Wales (after Llangorse Lake).

It is the heart of the nature reserve and is a valuable stopping point for migrating birds. The lake's maximum depth is about 12 feet - although legend has it that the lake is bottomless and fed by seven springs.

There are 2 bird hides, one on the South and one on the North shore.
