Description
Great lake for a paddle. Free car park and toilet facilities. Great place for a picnic too.
visited on the 14/7/2021 car park is free and there is an amenity building with toilet ,and small cafe to get a a drink.
staff really helpfull and friendly when I enquired on access to lake,
( think it is managed by springboard north east and sunderland city council)
needed to show them my indemnity insurance, and cost me £2 to use lake with my inflatable kayak. no motorized craft allowed on lake
lovely lake to practice on as i am74 year old and had never done anything like this before. launch site is about 80 metre fom car park, just a sandy gravel patch. be prepared to get your feet a bit dirty, take a big sponge, its about 80 metres from car park to launch spot plenty nice grass to blow up your inflatable.
only one other person on lake a young girl who had just bought a paddle board and needed to practice. she said it was fine as well, all in all a nice place.
