Although we only have a certain area we can paddle at the quarry, the sheltered water offers a fantastic spot for practicing those skills, playing games and enjoying a dip in the clear waters. A fantastic way to enjoy the water on a hot sunny day and a great place for relax on the water.

Spectators
Spectators are welcome but must follow our safety rules. Children between 10 and 17, a parent or Guardian must remain on site and in proximity during their session. Children are not allowed to be left on their own to wonder around the site as there are a number of dangers such as moving cars, air tanks, heavy equipment which may cause injury or could be damaged by the children as well as deep water hazards. Therefore adults must remain on site with the children if they are spectating.

We will not allow anyone to participate if they are under the influence as this is dangerous and a health and safety risk.
