Please do not cycle within the estate and lakeside paths. (We had a
complaint in previous years from the Trentham estate.)
Boat Wash:
We will be operating a boat wash policy again this year, All boats must
go through the boat wash station before being used on the lake. This is
a site requirement to protect the lake from invasive species and
