Lee Valley White Water Centre

We picked a beautiful day to visit my favourite Lea Valley White Water Rafting Centre. Great for a Sunday afternoon walk with plenty of things to see and of course you can always book to do some white water rafting. Looks so much fun!

We paddle at Lee Valley on a Wednesday Evening with the Lee Valley Paddlesport Club which offer sessions for beginners on the lake as well as white water courses on the Legacy and Olympic courses. We started paddling with Whoosh Explore Canoe Club in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire which is a great place to have an introductory paddle on the River Stort and Lee and then encourage paddling development on moving water at the centre. The legacy course is a step up from other white water centres like the Nene White Water Centre so we try and get paddlers confidence up on the bottom of the course first. LVPC meet on Wednesday evenings and are running Sunday mornings over the summer.

A very enjoyable experience white water rafting with my family. Our instructor was very friendly and reassuring and the rapids were very fun. I couldn't stop laughing when my sisters fell out of the boat. Even when one of us did fall out there was someone nearby on the side ready to throw a rope if needed. A great time would 100% recommend

Great fun great surroundings, whether a spectator or participant. Lots of water related activities supervised by enthusiastic experts. Young and old will find an activity to enjoy.

Had a fantastic time whitewater rafting. We took our 13 year old son and he loved it too, it was really good fun. We were given clear instructions and felt safe at all times. So brilliant to jump in for the swim test on what was a really hot day!! Would recommend this place for a thrilling day out and we hope to return with a few more people next time 😊

It was amazing to watch the people rafting. Lots of good viewing spots.
Everything stops for lunch (understandably) & the food & drinks area is good value & comfortable

White water rafting or other experiences available. Loads of parking and easy access for everyone. Cafe / coffee bar upstairs. Lift available. Register your car at the desk for 4 free hours parking. Plenty of viewing areas if your not taking part to take some photos and laugh or relax. Very reasonable prices for the experience. On this occasion white water rafting. Friendly staff and instructions. If you are taking part bring a towel, change or clothes for after and some swimwear. Toilets and showers provided. Lockers big enough for a medium bag provided for free. All necessary equipment is provided to a good standard. For the price and experience as a group I would recommend. If it's two of you are one you will be grouped together with other people which does not take away from the experience. This is a relatively low impact sport but if you have pre-existing medical conditions or injuries you will have to sign a disclaimer. You can get some bumps and bruises and don't expect this to be an injury free experience. Albeit just minor stuff. Overall I would recommend

A top facility (Olympic Canoeing Park) with fantastic support facilities (cafe, bathrooms, access and full roaming for videos). Staff are extremely safety conscious. Experience was fantastic and lasted a very long while. A circular track approx 4 swells. They have a few different outings based on ferocity and this was the recommended medium setting for first time attendees.
