Site Rules

While we’re generally fairly laid back, we do need to insist on a small number of rules for everyone’s safety. All use of our site is subject to these rules - breaking any could result in you being asked to leave the site, or even being permanently banned.

Respect and listen to lake staff instructions, especially in emergency situations.
Respect other lake users.
Safety devices are mandatory for all lake users: Tow floats for swimmers/dippers, and life jackets for paddleboarders.
We have a lower age limit for all lake users - 14+ during the warm season (Apr-Oct) and 16+ cold season (Nov-Mar). All under-18s must be accompanied at all times on site by a responsible adult.
Dogs must be kept under control at all times - any dog fouls must be picked up immediately and disposed of responsibly, and dogs must not bother wildlife or other site users.
There is a STRICT 5mph speed limit across the whole site, as we are on a working farm.
No jumping/diving into the water
No alcohol or intoxication
No external food or drink to be consumed on-site.
Only soft-shelled inflatable paddleboards to be used in the water - no other watercraft (e.g. canoes, model boats etc)
Visitors to the lake must not feed the wildlife.
Do not throw any objects into the lake.
Visitors must ensure that any equipment that has been used in any other bodies of water must be thoroughly cleaned before use in Court Farm Lakes.
