These lakes were constructed by the Forestry Commission for use by the local people. They are now a popular attraction for visitors far and wide. The lower lake can be booked for boating activities - groups only. The lakeside path is easy access and has benches dotted alongside it - good vantage points for watching mandarins and other ducks.

The family cycle trail passes close by and Go Ape is located a short walk form the car park.
There are also three walking trails, a running trail and ramblers routes:
Adidas Running Trail
Mallards Pike Path
Mallards Pike to Wenchford Link Path
Pluckpenny Trail

Hot and cold refreshments available from a mobile cabin every day in the summer, also most weekends in the winter, weather permitting.

The lake can be pre-booked Monday to Saturday by tutor-led groups. Tel 01594 833057.
Two permanent BBQ stands are free to use. Please do not place disposable BBQs on the picnic tables. Several picnic tables are sited with views over the lake.
