The Trout Beck is a river in the Lake District in Cumbria , England . The Trout Beck arises on the southern slopes below the Stony Cove Pike . The river flows 11 km north of the town Windermere in the Lake Windermere . The entire length of the river was in Westmorland until 1974 , but is now entirely in Cumbria.
The Trout Beck flows south from its formation; it flows through a narrow valley east of Troutbeck and west of Troutbeck Tongue . The Hagg Gill and the Woundale Beck are its two largest tributaries, to which a number of small unnamed streams join.
In its upper reaches, the Trout Beck, together with the Hagg Gill and the ridge of the Troutbeck Tongue in between, forms the Troutbeck Site of Special Scientific Interest . The peculiarity of the area lies in its vegetation, which consists of an alternation of fern and grassland.
