Cod Beck Reservoir is a man-made lake situated within the North York Moors National Park and near the village of Osmotherley. The reservoir is surrounded by woodland and just upstream is the local beauty spot called Sheepwash.

Cod Beck Reservoir is recognised as being important to toads. Common Toads hibernate on the moorland and have been subject to death on the road that runs alongside the reservoir. Volunteers go out on mild wet nights in February for a two to four week period to rescue the toads. 

Yorkshire Water have said that they will only release water in drought conditions if it is of benefit to the environment downstream to alleviate the plight of the toads.

Cod Beck also supports Brown Trout, Grayling, Bullhead, EelStone Loach, Minnow and Lamphrey. Evidence of Otters has also been noted.

Walking - a circular path around the reservoir provides a 45-minute walk. The Lyke Wake Walk starts opposite the northern end of the reservoir
