Lovely place.

Beautiful, peaceful place viewed on a ride on my gravel bike. I’ve lived in Wokingham for 26 years and it’s the first time I’ve been here. Hidden treasure

Great walk, dog heaven, lovely coffee shop, free parking, toilets, indoor seating great wildlife. Very busy weekends, Bank Holidays and school holidays, parking can be difficult, walk if you can, although if you come along from Firglen estate way no footpath and road very busy. Nice lot of wintering birds. Can get very muddy after rainfall.

Fantastic hire venue for Standup Paddleboarding. Love the feel of the place, chilled atmosphere and everyone always smiling. Dogs very welcome and allowed to paddleboard with you which is the reason I'm happy to travel some distance to visit. They test for green blue algae to keep us all safe. Free lifejacket with your hire (you need to provide one for your dog - but any sensible dog owner would happily do so anyway). The cafe has tasy food and nice coffee in big mugs! Free parking made even bigger this year and looks like they've plans to further expand in future. All in all a great day out

Staff are helpful & friendly

Great place for a walk around the lake and beside the River Blackwater. Even better is booking a session on/in the water. As an open water swimmer/dipper, I can confirm this lake is well managed, clean and has well marked courses for laps. There is a sandy beach to enter the lake with a gentle gradient. You can book kayaking and paddle boarding courses and they are well organised from the ones I've watched while swimming. There's a cafe on site, so you sit and enjoy the views across the lake and watch the ducks, geese and swans.

Went here today with my own paddleboard as a total novice. The lady working at the boatshed could not have been nicer, more helpful and kind. We had an absolute blast Paddleboarding as a group of 4, and Sharon took the time out to teach me how to stand up (and fall off lols) The changing rooms are lovely and clean and there are toilets and a cafe (didn't use the cafe). This was a 10/10 experience, and Sharon deserves a massive pat on the back for helping make it so good

Lovely place. The kids had a brilliant time doing raft building.
