Killington Reservoir was formed when Killington Beck was dammed in 1819, to supply the Lancaster Canal. It is popular with water sport enthusiasts as it offers opportunities for dinghy sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. The man-made lake is also popular with fishermen and the bird reserve on the west side makes it an ideal location for birdwatchers. The M6 motorway passes immediately to the west of the reservoir, and Killington Lake Services, which is only accessible to southbound drivers, is situated on the bank. The services were built in 1972, soon after the motorway opened.
