Henry David once said, “A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.” If lakes are indeed the gateway to the soul, reflecting the depth of our nature, you might want to consider Willen Lake as your destined paradise to relax with friends and family.
Willen Lake South, as you may well know, is the most popular lake in Milton Keynes. Thus, it is an activity-packed lake providing a host of fun events for individuals and families – on water and on land. It boasts a variety of outdoor water activities such as the Splash Park and water sports galore. Take your choice from stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing, or waterboarding. Of course, these are paid activities, but there is still plenty to do without digging into your pockets.
You can feed the many wildfowls and ducks when you stop at designated platforms at the lake's bank. Don't forget to come prepared with mixed seeds, defrosted peas, berries or tinned sweetcorn; not bread please, this will cause bird digestion. Please let others know.
Guess what, the lake features a huge 3,500m² play area, where children can career around to their heart’s delight throughout the year, along with play trails in hidden areas just around each corner. Alternatively, contemplate life with a gentle walk beside the water, share the experience with a loved one or take in the view as you go for a run, Willen Lake is perfect. All year round, it offers a circular route around the lake, which is approximately 5km. If you are interested in running as a group, the lake also holds a 5km “Park Run” every Saturday. They’ve got you covered; don't you think? No excuses now!
All play, and no meal makes Jack a weak boy! Willen Lake has a One4six café; open every day of the week. The quaint café provides a range of delicious cakes, sandwiches, and Paninis, including drinks. Picnic tables and benches are available nearby if you want to eat al fresco. In the peak season, the lake features numerous appetising food options. You can find the café just by the waterboarding centre and play area for children. Or just follow the smell!
You can fish in some parts of the lake with no charge, though access depends on other activities taking place in and around the area and the time of the year. What’s more, you don’t have to worry about your car while having fun – Willen Lake has a paid parking system with an operational CCTV. Even charging points for electric cars are located in the vicinity. They have got you covered!
Willen Lake can be found at V10 Brickhill St, Milton Keynes MK15 0DS. With everything it has to offer, you can't go wrong. Next time you are looking for something fun and relaxing to do, you now know exactly where to go.
