Loe Bar Panorama

The Loe (Cornish: An Logh), also known as Loe Pool, is the largest natural freshwater lake (50 hectares (120 acres) and maximum depth of 6 metres (20 ft) in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The earliest recorded appearance of the name was in 1337, when it was called "La Loo", but is mentioned as 'the lake' in 1302. Situated between Porthleven and Gunwalloe and downstream of Helston, it is separated from Mount's Bay by the shingle bank of Loe Bar. Both the Loe (including the southern arm known as Carminowe Creek) and Loe Bar are situated within the Penrose Estate, which is administered by the National Trust.
