Skew Bridge Lake is the main lake that backs onto the Rushden Lakes shopping complex. It is one of a series of lakes (“the Rushden Lakes”) formed on the site where gravel and sand were extracted from the adjacent Nene valley. Decades of extraction resulted in a series of pits that filled with water to form a series of lakes along the valley.
