 The reservoir is easily accessible from Llangefni, as well defined paths run from the town through the local nature reserve, The Dingle, one of the few ancient woodland sites on the island.It can also be accessed by the Lôn Las Cefni cycleway which follows the Afon Cefni from The Dingle and divides at the dam.In the summer of 2011, toxic blue-green algae were found in the reservoir and visitors were advised to avoid contact with the water.
