It's worth making a detour from Great Knoutberry Hill - not far - to see this tarn. Bleak, isolated, peaceful - this large body of water feels miles and miles away from everything else. If you like being alone, in silence, this is definitely the place, and it's also a great place to stop, refresh and recharge before, likely, another few miles of a brisk hike.

The short detour downhill from Great Knoutberry Hill is well worth the out-and-back effort to see this seemingly remote from anywhere tarn. It is a magical place in any weather, it seems quite a mystical place when the clouds are in and the visibility is not so good.
