The lake in the summer is a high risk of fire area, please be very careful with cigarette/cigar butts and use the sand buckets provided to extinguish them.
Our fishery rules are in place for the safety of our fish, the venue and our customers. Anyone found breaking the above rules will have their holiday terminated immediately and your removal from the premises will follow.
