About Bluewater Lakes and Boating
Bluewater Lakes and Boating is a recreational water sports facility set within the Bluewater complex or its immediate surroundings, offering opportunities for boating, kayaking, and water-based leisure activities. The site features lakes suitable for launching small boats, kayaks, and paddle boards, with facilities designed for both experienced water users and beginners.
The venue provides hire options for watercraft and equipment, along with instruction for those new to water sports. Lakeside areas include picnic spots and viewing areas where visitors can relax and watch activity on the water. The setting combines easy access from the Bluewater shopping centre with a genuine outdoor, waterside experience.
