North Yorkshire Water Park

Located just East of Wykeham, 6 miles west of Scarborough, North Yorkshire Water Park originally comprised of four specialist fishing lakes and a larger lake (c80 acres) which is now dedicated to water sports. For many years, local water sports clubs and individuals have been sailing, windsurfing, model yacht racing and open water swimming at the destination.

North Yorkshire Water Park was launched in July 2017 with an AquaPark. Thrill seekers now enjoy further activities such kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, tandem kayaking and more, as well as a range of other outdoor leisure facilities around the lake. 2021 has seen the Dawnay Estate substantially expand the Water Park providing new attractions such as wake boarding and the new 70-seat café building and events room.

The Café @ North Yorkshire Water Park is open every day, serving delicious food and refreshments to leave you refuelled and recharged after an action-packed session of thrilling adventures.
