Angle Tarn is a tarn in Cumbria, England, within the Lake District National Park, about a mile north-east of Hartsop. Located at an altitude of 479 m (1,572 ft), the lake has an area of 5.9 hectares (15 acres), measures 385 by 260 m (1,263 by 853 ft), with a maximum depth of 9 m (30 ft).[1] The lake is very distinctive in that it resembles a fish hook in shape. It contains two rocky islets and a small broken peninsula.[2] It is located on the Angletarn Pikes, which are named after it.
