| BOUNDARY - At this point the river forms the county boundary. On the Suffolk bank (nearest the A1092 road) the river fishery extends for 250 yards downstream from the bridge to a high barbed wire fence. Also upstream for 20 yards to a little joining stream which runs along the back of the gate car park. On the Essex bank of the river, over the L.A.A. iron bridge, the fishery extends downstream to a dyke, forming the outlet from the lake to the river, and upstream to a point 20 yards past the electric power cables, approximately 100yds short of the old railway bridge. | ||||||||||

| The lake is at the end of the hard track. It is virtually divided into two halves by a string of interconnected islands running diagonally from the near left hand corner to the right hand corner. Access is not permitted via the railway embankment forming the far bank. | ||||||||||
