to schools. The nearby Outdoor Education Centre at Pentre-Llyn-Cymmer accommodates children during school trips. The reservoir is very close to Llyn Brenig. It is at the end of a valley, and has no through routes around it for vehicles. However the reservoir has an extensive network of trails (public footpaths as well as forest roads suitable for horse riding, mountain biking and walking). Footpaths around the reservoir were upgraded in 2005 and 2006, providing better access to the general public and allowing greater exploration of the North and South Alwen forests. Fishing is permitted through permit (which can be purchased from the visitors centre at the nearby Llyn Brenig visitors centre). Access Access is via the B4501, turning north off the A5 at Cerrig-y-drudion.
