There is plenty of parking available at the lake. Fishing and boating permits can be obtained from the pay & display machines or from the Warden's office on the foreshore.
Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) at 1,084 acres is Wales's largest natural lake and is arguebly the most beautiful. It is of glacial origin and used to extend to some 8 miles long. It is a lake steeped in legend.
Llyn Tegid means Lake of Serenity and it is easy too see why after spending a day fishing there. The lake has been a fishery of importance from early times. It is said that on moonlit nights you can see towers and buildings under the waters, and that bells can be heard. These buildings, according to legend, was the palace of King Tegid, husband of Ceridwen, the mother of Taliesin. Llyn Tegid is also home to the rare and protected whitefish called the Gwyniad which roams the deeps.
