Launch Your Own Paddle Adventure on Sibson Lake and the River Nene.
Craft Launch at Sibson Lake invites paddlers to bring their own paddleboard, kayak or canoe and set out onto the still water of the lake and the flowing channel of the River Nene. The offering is a short, two‑hour window to practice strokes, drift into quiet shoreline and reconnect with open water; inflatable paddleboards and rigid plastic craft are accepted, while some inflatables and other craft are restricted. On‑site safety cover is provided on the lake, and participants must comply with site rules and insurance requirements.
