The lake is a great place to have a leisurely row or canoe. If you don't mind getting damp, then our single seater Bayou kayaks are great fun, or you can try our stable family canoes. Hire includes a buoyancy aid (which must be worn) and there will always be an Instructor on duty with a safety boat to look out for you!

Canoes, Kayaks, Rowing Boats, Pedalos and Sailing Dinghies will be available for hire at weekends and school holiday weekdays from Friday 2nd April (due to very cold water!) Saturdays: 1.30pm - 5.00pm (last hire 4.00pm)
Sundays: 10.00am - 5.00pm (last hire 4.00pm)

There is no need to book, but if it is windy, do telephone before travelling to check availability as we sometimes have to stop hire for safety reasons.

HIRE IS AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS, BANK HOLIDAYS AND EVERY SCHOOL HOLIDAY WEEKDAY from 2nd APRIL until END SEPTEMBER.
