Locator, not a GPX track.
The sketch marks this water. How-to-get-there names the usual village, car park or bus — then use the terrain map for real public paths. Gorges and hill tarns need proper footwear and an OS map.
Terrain map
Zoom in for footpaths and contours. The marker is the water, not a line of approach.

The drowned Mardale reservoir in the far east, with High Street above.
How to get there
Dead-end road from Bampton to the head of Haweswater (Mardale). Small car parks. The old corpse road and Gatescarth are mountain paths, not a lakeside promenade.
