Dorney Lake is completely closed to all visitors during Spring, Summer and Autumn. NCN 4 which skirts the site is in poor condition after rain, with deep mud. A very regrettable decision by Eton College.

Rain or shine IMO just a lovely spot for a Ride Out or Hike. Tall Trees, the Lake and a Cafe if needed.

Owned by Eton College, Dorney Lake is an epic watersports and outdoor activities venue. It holds fantastic triathlons each year and was the London 2012 Olympics rowing venue. You don't have to get wet to visit though, and in the surroundings are footpaths and cycle paths so you can admire it from the snugness of your dry clothes.

CURRENTLY CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC (July 2020)!! Unfortunately due to anti-social behaviour, littering and a lack of social distancing, the lake has been closed to the public for the foreseeable future. All footpaths and cycling routes are closed. It is possible to cycle along the side of the Thames and then back round through Dorney, taking the bridge to Monkey Island to get back across the river.
