About Stithians Lake
Stithians Lake sits in rolling Cornish countryside beside a sweeping 275-acre reservoir, making it a natural magnet for watersports enthusiasts and families after an active break. The lake itself is the star attraction—sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and fishing all feature—while on land you'll find proper facilities including electric hook-ups, showers and toilets, plus a warm welcome for dogs. The family-friendly vibe is well-earned, with plenty of space for children to roam and burn off energy.
The setting feels genuinely rural, a world away from busier coastal sites, though some visitors note the facilities can feel a little tired in places. Still, if you want big skies, big water and a straightforward base for exploring deeper Cornwall, Stithians delivers.

This is a great walk. The dam is awesome. The walk is easy. To hard for wheelchairs to be honest. Lovely cafe at boating area. Golden lion pub on route to which has awesome food

Lovely place for a walk though definitely take your wellies! A few friendly angler's along the walk too. Frog spawn for the kids to marvel at. And a dizzying dam to cross!

Stunning reservoir with watersports in the summer. Kayaking, sailing and paddle boarding all possible from the activity centre on the lakeside. Well kept walk all the way around if you are keen on a 10k or so walk. A really nice dam also on said walk which makes a good starting point with the car park.
