Blue Lagoon Local Nature Reserve

[1][2] The Blue Lagoon is the only Local Nature Reserve in the City of Milton Keynes.

The diverse habitat, including shallow and deep water, grassland, scrubland and woodland, hosts an abundance of fauna and flora.

[3] In the early 1990s, the whole site was redeveloped to upgrade it to Local Nature Reserve status.

The lake supports a diverse ecosystem: pike, perch, roach, crayfish are often reported and tench and carp are occasionally seen.

[citation needed] The southern section of the reserve, around what remains of the Flettons pit, is landscaped around former spoil heaps.
