Fishery Information
Regarded as one of the highest waters in the Lake District, Red Tarn lies at an altitude of 718 metres and has a depth of 25 metres. This water was formed when the glacier that carved out the eastern side of Helvellyn had melted. In the 19th century, Red Tarn was dammed using boulders and supplied power to the Greenside Lead Mine at Glenridding.
Red Tarn is popular as a rough camping site and is home to rare fish called schelley.
