At times of very heavy rain, or flooding in the county, water levels at Stanwick Lakes can change quickly. Sometimes this isn’t due to rainfall, but factors occurring further along the River Nene, and due to the area being a floodplain.
Flooding can sometimes affect our paths and make wellies essential for your visit. Walking routes, including the adventure trail, may remain restricted when waters are high.
To help you plan your visit, we’ve provided a map that illustrates the current water levels and path accessibility around the site, below.
For the most up-to-date information, you can also check in with our welcome desk, where our team receives regular updates from on-site rangers. You can also us on 01933 625 522 when the Visitor Centre is open (usual hours 9.30am – 5pm, 7 days a week).
