Marine Lake is open again!

Knightstone and the lake at dusk

After a £1 million refurbishment over the winter, Weston Marine Lake reopened at 3pm on Friday 22 May 2026 – just in time for the Bank Holiday.

The works, led by North Somerset Council, include:

  • a resurfaced lower walkway
  • new steps, ramps and handrails to make getting in and out easier
  • more toilets, including an accessible toilet
  • cycle racks, plus new storage and equipment hire
  • a deep-water swimming channel across the lake

There’s also a coffee hut, paddleboard hire and a sauna by the water. We’ve been campaigning and working with the council on plans for the lake since it was dredged in 2022, and we’re overjoyed to see it looking so smart.

Come and see for yourself – and say hello if you spot a Mudlark.


Help keep the lake free for everyone

The Mudlarks are all volunteers. Every donation, every hour of litter-picking and every local sponsor goes straight into looking after Marine Lake – from water testing to the webcam.
