Welcome to Dorney Lake

Dorney Lake is a modern world-class rowing and flat-water canoeing centre set in a spectacular 450-acre parkland near Windsor. The site hosted the Rowing and Kayak events during the Olympic and Paralympic Games for London 2012 and was voted top Olympic venue by an exit poll of spectators.


Following the success of the Olympics the site is now re-open.


However, PLEASE NOTE, there is restricted access to some areas of the site.

Please see the Community Access page for further information and regular updates on the reinstatement work taking place following the Olympics. Latest update: 16th April 2013.

As well as sporting activities we provide year-round corporate and private hospitality facilities through our in-house team. Functions from 12 to several thousand people can be accommodated, using any combination of land and water.

There is disabled access to all areas of the building.

It is an exceptional location and one that we will be coming to again and again.
