If you want to get onto Windermere without organising your own boat, Fell Foot is one of the simplest places to start.
What can you hire?
- paddleboards
- kayaks
- canoes
- rowboats
Hourly sessions suit beginners and families. More experienced SUP users can choose the pick-up-and-go option.
2026 season
The National Trust currently lists Stoked Watersports to 3 October 2026, with activity from 10am to 5.30pm on operating days. Check live availability before travelling for a specific session.
Active Base
Changing rooms, showers, lockers and underfloor heating make this much easier than changing beside the car. Day passes start at £2 and annual access is £83.
Parking
Current parking is £7 for 2 hours, £8.50 for 4 hours or £10 all day for non-members. National Trust members and Blue Badge holders park free.
See the Fell Foot Car Park guide.
Bus
Stagecoach 6 stops right outside Fell Foot. The National Trust specifically advises against relying on an X6 stop in Newby Bridge because there is no safe pavement along that part of the A592.
Safety
Windermere is shared by many craft. Read the safety boards and follow staff instructions. Autumn and winter often bring higher water levels and more challenging conditions.
Our tip
Book the activity first, then work backwards to arrival and parking. On a sunny weekend the car park can be busy long before your session.
