  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully.
