Carr Mill Dam is Merseyside's largest body of inland water, it offers picturesque lakeside trails & walks as well as national competitive powerboating & angling events.

Once simply a mill pond built to power Carr’s Mill, this was hugely expanded in the 1750s to provide water to the Sankey Navigation, (Sankey Canal), about a mile away. The lake is a firm favourite, busy with anglers & water sports enthusiasts. It’s also a great place for birdwatchers - herons, great crested grebes, coots & various species of duck and gull can be found here.

Carr Mill Dam can be accessed from the A580 road (East Lancashire Road) turn towards Billinge at the traffic lights. It is situated north of St Helens town centre, on the A571 (Carr Mill Road).
