Great Lake for Paddleboarding Newbies
Rudyard Lake的点评
点评：After our trip to the Lakes had to be rescheduled, we wanted to find somewhere to Paddleboard together for our anniversary, and a Paddleboarding group I joined on Facebook recommend Rudyard Lake.
I rang ahead to make some enquiries and spoke with one of the rangers (I think his name was Ray). He was very helpful and advised that I book our session online before arrival to secure a parking space at the Dam Side (near all the Lakeside activities and launch areas) so I did.
***£12 per board / craft (not per person) and this cost includes all day paddleboarding and your parking too. No paddleboard license required.***
We travelled over the evening before (as we were 1hr 45mins away) in our campervan and ended up staying in the Rudyard Railway car park (2 mins away from the Lake). There were no signs to indicate that overnight parking wasnt allowed, and I googled it too and it stated it was open 24 hours and that it can often be used for overnight car / campervan stays.
It was a lovely quiet spot and of course we left with no trace.
We later realised that you can actually stay in the Rudyard Hotel Car Park for a small fee if you dine there too. So next time, we will do that, as the Hotel looked lovely 😍
The morning of our session we made our way to the car park and the Rangers Office to confirm our booking. We were given wristbands to wear and then Ranger Chris got us parked up overlooking the lake.
There's toilets, changing facilities and also a cafe there too.
It really is a beautiful Lake and perfect if you're new to paddleboarding.
We launched down at the dam side (there's two options: to launch from the "beach" area or from the platoon. We opted with the beach area). It was very easy to launch from here as its shallow and calm so its the perfect place to get your bearings before heading out to explore the rest of the Lake.
If you are paddleboarding, I recommend wearing water shoes or an old pair of trainers as the bottom of the Lake is muddy and there are stones / rocks which can feel sharp on your feet.
We spent a good few hours exploring the lake and really enjoyed it. We paddled up towards the sailing club's area and beached there for a drink and a stretch of the legs.
Afterwards, we beached our boards back at the dam side and got changed before heading to the cafe for a well deserved cuppa and some cake.
All-in-all I can certainly recommend it here. Whether it be for a walk, cycle, paddle, kayak, or fishing. Its a wonderful place and we shall definitely be back. The rangers cant do enough for you and are accessible at all times. The Lake has a circular trail all the way around (its around 5 miles maximum we were told) and also has the light railway train running along one side of the lake.

翻译：我们的湖区之旅不得不推迟后，为了庆祝周年纪念，我们想找个地方一起玩桨板。我在脸书上加入的一个桨板爱好者群组推荐了鲁德亚德湖。
我提前打电话咨询，与其中一位护林员通了话（我记得他叫雷）。他非常热心，建议我在抵达前在线预约体验项目，这样才能确保在大坝旁的停车场（靠近所有湖边活动和下水点）有个停车位。于是我就照做了。***每块桨板/每艘皮划艇的费用为12英镑（按设备计费，而非按人计费），该费用已包含全天的桨板体验活动以及停车费。无需持有桨板执照。***
我们前一天晚上就乘车前往了（因为路程需要1小时45分钟），最终把露营车停在了鲁德亚德铁路的停车场（距离湖泊仅2分钟路程）。现场没有任何标识表明禁止过夜停车。我也在谷歌上搜索过，结果显示该停车场24小时开放，而且经常有车辆或露营车在此过夜。那里是个宁静宜人的地方，当然，我们离开时没有留下任何痕迹。后来我们才了解到，只要在鲁德亚德酒店用餐，花点小钱就可以在酒店的停车场过夜。下次我们一定会这么做，因为那家酒店看起来棒极了😍
拍摄当天早上，我们前往停车场以及护林员办公室以确认预订事宜。我们领到了腕带戴上，随后护林员克里斯帮我们把车停在了可以俯瞰湖泊的位置。
那里有厕所、更衣室，还有一家咖啡馆。
这个湖真的非常美丽，对于刚开始玩桨板运动的人来说再合适不过了。
我们在大坝边下水（这里有两个下水点：“沙滩”区和另一处平台。我们选择了沙滩区）。从这里出发非常方便，因为湖水很浅且平静，是大家在深入探索整个湖泊之前熟悉环境的理想之地。
如果打算玩桨板，我建议穿上涉水鞋或旧运动鞋，因为湖底泥泞不堪，还有不少石头和砾石，踩上去可能会划伤脚。
我们花了好几个小时来游览湖泊，玩得十分尽兴。我们划着桨向帆船俱乐部所在区域前进，然后在那里上岸休息、喝杯东西并活动一下腿脚。之后，我们把桨板放回大坝边，换好衣服便前往咖啡馆，享受一顿应得的茶点。总的来说，我真心推荐这个地方——无论是散步、骑行、划桨、皮划艇还是钓鱼，这里都是绝佳之选。我们肯定还会再来。这里的护林员无微不至地为我们服务，而且随时都能联系上他们。湖边有一条环湖步道（据我们了解，全程最长约5英里），湖的一侧还有轻轨列车行驶。
