Description
This body of water is owned by North Lanarkshire Council. You can see the body of water from the M8 coming east at Harthill. Forrestburn is also used as a fishery stocked with pike and perch. It’s about a mile long, so good for distance, but due to the weather conditions and sourounding area, the conditions can change very quickly. It’s a steep entry and the water gets deep very instantly! Not for anyone new to open water swimming.
Getting There
Getting there is by car only. There is limited parking.
Accessibility
It has a steep entry, but there are steps up to the damm wall. You need a good level of fitness to get yourself in and out.

This is my local swim spot. It’s deep from the get go but a lovely swim. Take care entering & exiting the water it can be slippy.
