Welcome to Wyresdale Park, where nature and swimming come together for an unforgettable aquatic adventure. Nestled along picturesque Snowhill Lane near Scorton, this serene setting offers a tranquil backdrop for swimmers of all levels. Upon arrival at the jetty, you'll find storage boxes available in case of inclement weather, ensuring that your belongings are safe while you enjoy the water. Staff members will greet you and provide any necessary instructions before you begin your swim. Tow floats are essential here; they can be borrowed on-site to enhance safety and comfort. The lake is dotted with buoys during summer months, marking out circuits of approximately 400 meters each, making it easy for swimmers to track their distance as they complete miles in the serene waters. However, caution is advised near blue buoys on the far side of the lake, which mark shallow areas used by fishermen. Wetsuits are optional but highly recommended due to the cooler water temperatures, especially during winter months when you can earn badges for braving the elements. Brightly colored swim caps or bobble hats will help ensure visibility in the clear waters. While changing facilities on-site are limited, swimmers should arrive dressed appropriately or change quickly at their vehicles before and after the event. Parking is available near the Applestore Café, with additional overflow parking accessible via a woodland footpath leading directly to the lake. For those traveling by public transport, Stagecoach bus 40 from Preston Station offers convenient access, taking approximately 45 minutes to reach Cabus Gubberford Lane. Detailed driving directions are also provided for car travelers approaching from both Lancaster and Preston. Enjoy your swim in this peaceful setting, where safety is a priority and the natural beauty of Wyresdale Park provides an idyllic backdrop for every stroke you take.
