Our Lakes
Island Lake
The larger Island Lake has gently sloping banks on the curves allowing for easier access to wheelchair users. Plenty of interest here with the varying depths of up to 6ft. The island offers it’s own challenges.
Canal Lake
The Canal Lake benefits from a raised bed along the centre of the lake for most if it’s length and is 7ft deep. The lilies in the centre give excellent cover for the fish to “hide”. Both lakes have steps down to the swims.
