Reed island, Canvey Lake
Image: © David Kemp Taken: 11 Aug 2018
Canvey Lake is said to be what remains of an old creek that once flowed through and around the five islets which originally made up what was once Cana Island. The lake is a curved and narrow stretch of brackish (slightly salty) water three-quarters of a mile in length. Most of its southern side is bordered by reed beds (and houses like those in Thisselt Road seen here) and there are numerous reed islands in its midst.
