Watersports at Willen Lake

Boat Hire Centre

Boat hire is a great way to get out onto the lake, with a range of equipment available for those who have little or no previous experience on the water. Our friendly swan and dragon pedalos are great for the family, and boats like our single kayaks give the freedom for people to explore the lake from a different perspective.

Kids Clubs

Whether it's our Saturday morning activity club or our full activity weeks, we've got plenty to keep the kids entertained!

Paddlesports

Willen Lake’s sheltered waters are a great place to learn to control a kayak, canoe or paddleboard. Whether it's for the first time, or if you're looking to progress and develop your skills.

Sailing

We offer sailing tuition, either by tasters or qualifications for progressing skills from one level to the next. Different boats are used at different stages of the learning process to introduce higher levels of challenges and rewards in line with the candidate's improving skills.

Wakeboarding

If you’re a wakeboarder, waterskier, kneeboarder, wakeskater, kitesurfer or surfer, be sure to check out The Wakeboarding Centre at Willen Lake.

Book onto one of our ‘Discover’ sessions for your first go on the cable.
