 '''[[Elter Water]]''' is a small lake on the main thoroughfare to the valley of [[Great Langdale]] where the dominant and striking [[Langdale Pikes]] are situated. It is connected via the A593 and lies approximately 5.6 kilometres (3.5 miles) west of [[Ambleside]] and one kilometre southeast from the village of [[Elterwater]]. Both the lake and the village are popular with walkers and cyclists alike, which can be busy all year round but particularly so during the more clement months.
-The smallest of the lakes in the Lake District, Elter Water is 75 times smaller than [[Windermere]]<ref>{{Smith-lakes|5}}</ref> yet it is by no means lacking in other areas, offering stunning views from the eastern shore looking towards [[Lingmoor Fell]] and the aforementioned Pikes. It is made of three distinct sections and only has a maximum depth of around 6 metres (20 ft). The [[River Brathay]] flows through the southern part of the lake at The Nab, while the [[Great Langdale Beck]] flows from the north. They converge at the eastern section of the lake before continuing southeast towards [[Skelwith Force]] waterfalls at [[Skelwith Bridge]] and on towards Ambleside and [[Windermere (town)|Windermere]]. The majestic Whooper Swans winter on the lake here.<ref name="whaley">{{Whaley|108-109}}</ref>
