The reservoir was used to maintain the water level in the canal. The reservoir is formed by a large earth dam with stone facings, forming banks on three sides of a gentle slope. The outlet to the canal feeder forms a stone-lined, oval tunnel and a valve chamber is set into the bank above. Pen Y Fan Pond Country Park features the reservoir, and provides a circular walk around the lake, and minimal facilities for visitors. The site has a car park, and is popular destination for families and fishermen.
