It’s okay to cross during the day but it’s badly lighted

Nice view

There are a number of lakes in the Rother Valley Country Park. This is one of the smaller lakes on the northern side of the park and it is connected to the others via well-maintained paths, making it easy to explore the area on foot.

Opened in 1892 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, Killamarsh Central had two platforms, each with a timber building and a large canopy. The station closed to the public in 1963 when local services on the Great Central were discontinued. The platforms and sidings remained in use for goods traffic until 1965.

When the park was transformed from an opencast mining site, 4 main Lakes were created with water from the Moss Brook (fresh water stream). It is estimated that 2 Million Gallons of water per day for 30 days filled the lakes. Nethermoor Lake is at least 20m deep in some parts.

The Meadowgate Lake Reserve is the prime location for seeing the greatest variety of species and generally the biggest numbers of birds. Winter wildfowl totals can be impressive with regular counts of over 200 Wigeon and Teal and slightly smaller numbers of Mallard, Tufted Duck and Pochard. Gadwall, Goldeneye and Goosander are usually present in significant numbers, though sadly Ruddy Duck no longer features as a common sight here. Scarce and rare wildfowl are more likely to be encountered in the reserve than elsewhere in the park with Pintail, Garganey, Mandarin, Scaup, Common Scoter, Red-breasted Merganser, Smew, Long-tailed Duck, Eider and Green-winged Teal recorded in recent years and the area's first American Wigeon arriving in 2008. More obvious are the resident squadrons of Canada and Greylag Geese; more welcome are the regular skeins of Pink-footed Geese that fly over the park between October and February.
