Site rules and policies
Feel free to bring your own kit or rent it on site (however, guests must have third party insurance for their own water craft and those using their own equipment must pay a small charge on arrival. You can find out more about prices and policies in the Terms and Conditions). And as tempting as it might be to take a refreshing dip in the lake, swimming is not allowed...
Things to do on site and in the Redruth area
Visitors can try out a wide range of watersports with the help of qualified instructors at the Outdoor Active centre onsite.
