About Roadford Lake

With over 730 acres of water, Roadford Lake is a spectacular lake set on the edge of Dartmoor between Okehampton and Launceston offering a wide range of activities both on and off the water. There is plenty to do at this scenic lake including miles of walks, cycle trails, a children's play area and an interactive visitor centre.

The Activity Centre offers a variety of watersports including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and canoeing. You can hire a craft, launch your own, take part in taster sessions or gain RYA qualifications. The possibilities are endless!

For those who prefer to stay dry, why not face your fears and swing like a monkey from the treetops on the high ropes course. Tackle challenges and obstacles raised high above the ground in an adrenalin-filled activity led by fully qualified instructors. There is also an indoor climbing wall and archery range.
