Black Wong Water is a freshwater marsh located in Lincolnshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 10 acres, it is a significant natural feature within the region. The water body is situated in a meadow-like landscape, surrounded by lush vegetation, including reeds, grasses, and various types of aquatic plants.

The water in Black Wong is dark in color, hence the name "Black Wong Water." It is primarily sourced from rainfall and surface runoff, making it a non-flowing water body. The depth of the water can vary throughout the year, with shallower areas during dry periods and deeper sections after heavy rainfall.

The marsh provides a suitable habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna. Numerous species of birds, such as ducks, swans, and herons, can be observed in and around the water. Additionally, the reeds and grasses offer shelter and nesting places for small mammals and amphibians.

Visitors to Black Wong Water can enjoy the tranquil surroundings and observe the local wildlife. The area is accessible via footpaths and offers several viewpoints for nature enthusiasts. However, swimming or any water activities are not permitted due to the fragile ecosystem and potential risks associated with the marshy terrain.

Black Wong Water is an important ecological site, contributing to the overall biodiversity of Lincolnshire. It serves as a valuable natural resource, supporting various species and providing a peaceful and picturesque environment for all who visit.
