About

Are you looking for an exhilarating day out filled with adventure and excitement? Discover Lee Valley White Water Centre, nestled within the expansive Lee Valley Regional Park and situated just a stone's throw away from Essex, is the perfect destination for thrill seekers. Dive into the heart pounding experience of tackling the same white water rafting course that was used during the London 2012 Games.

For those craving adventure, a wealth of possibilities await: embark on a white water rafting adventure, glide through the waters with kayaking, brave the currents with Hydrospeeding, master balance with Paddleboarding, or dip your toes in with Open Water swimming. If a different kind of challenge is on your radar, test your mettle on the inflatable assault course with Water Wipeout, situated on the lake.

Should you prefer to stay dry and relish the sight of your loved ones navigating the twists and turns of the rapids, the open air terrace provides the perfect vantage point.

Led by qualified coaches, you can ride the waves with confidence, or share the adrenalin rush by gifting vouchers to friends and family who share a passion for high energy activities at Lee Valley White Water Centre. What are you waiting for? Book a visit to Lee Valley White Water Centre today.
