Bristol’s Best RC Boating Lake — Wide Open Water, No Restrictions
West Country Water Park has one of the few dedicated RC boating venues in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire area. Our large natural lake gives you a wide-open expanse of calm water for electric speedboats, scale model vessels, and sail-powered boats alike — with a purpose-designated zone safely separated from swimmers and paddlers.
