Forton Lake

The locality is the subject of a painting by Martin Snape, which hangs in Gosport Town Hall.

The Lake itself is resident to local fish species, including shoal bass and pollack.

This project involved local residents in attempting to uncover the heritage that had lain undiscovered at the lake.

Many of the wrecks located in the lake would have been used by the Royal Navy as barges or for transporting munitions and other goods; others, such as Vadne, would have served the general public on a daily basis.

The east end of Forton Lake, as it becomes Portsmouth Harbour, is home to a footbridge built in 2000 as part of the Millennium Project, which sought to modernise the Gosport waterfront in celebration and anticipation of the year 2000.
