UPDATES

We have welcomed two green dragon pedalos to our flock of swans on Gunwade Lake so you have a choice of what you pedal when you next come down. Pay and Play activities on all our water craft are now available so as well as dragons and swan pedalos you can choose a rowing boat, a canoe, a kayak or stand up paddle board.

Our two campsites on the shores of Gunwade Lake are open for bookings for this year and will be welcoming campers from the 1st April.

Here’s a reminder of what we offer:

More than just a boat ride…

Our regular weekend and holiday boat trips will be returning this spring and keep your eyes out for special history and wildlife boat trip events in our calendar. With a nearsilent motor, Wyndham is the ideal craft for wildlife spotting. Join us on a cruise along the River Nene where swans, geese and other water fowl will glide alongside the boat with you. Wildlife highlights may also include herons, kingfishers and the elusive otter! For those wanting a more personal experience, Wyndham is available for private hire for up to 12 passengers. We provide the captain to drive the boat so that you and your family or friends can relax and enjoy the experience of having your own private cruiser for anything from one hour to a full day. Ideal for celebrating special occasions or as a thank you to colleagues or friends.

Are you wanting to learn a new skill or brush up on your old ones?

All our sailing courses this year are now available to book on our website. We operate the RYA Sailing Scheme throughout the year with courses for both adults and children spanning two days in a safe and fun learning environment. The beginner Level 1 courses cost £182 per person and take you through the basics of dinghy sailing, getting you to a standard where you are able to enjoy the freedom of sailing. You can then progress to stage 2 and beyond.

Look for our course dates on our website or email nene.outdoors@neneparktrust.org.uk

Starting back in May, our weekly open water sessions are a great way for swimmers to improve fitness while enjoying swimming outdoors in a safe environment.

Whether you are training for a triathlon or just want to take part in an activity which is sociable as well as good for you, we welcome all swimmers to our regular weekly sessions held every Thursday evening between May and September from 5:30–7pm.
