Llyn Gwynant (BSS)

Llyn Gwynant lies on the River Glaslyn, in the Nant Gwynant valley, and is about 1¼ miles (2 km) north east of Llyn Dinas; the village of Bethania lies between them. Snowdon lies 2 miles (3 km) to the north west. The lake is natural, having been formed by glacial action and is 120 acres in size. It is a popular place for canoeing and kayaking with easy access from the A498 road which runs along its south bank. There is an epic campsite at the north end of the lake called Llyn Gwynant Campsite. This is a great base for exploring Snowdonia in general, super easy access given its pretty central. There is even a route up Snowden from the campsite for those feeling energetic.
