Lakes, Reservoirs & Riversides in York

Fishing is what the lakes around York are really about. Lakeside Coarse Fishing Lake is 18+ and open every day of the year, with day tickets from £8, a longer trip out from the centre but easy to plan around since it never shuts. Maran Lakes offers fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout from £15, with sessions of four hours upwards and a choice of catch-and-release or catch-and-take. Redwood Park has seven lakes and cabins if you fancy staying over, open early to late for most of the year. None of these suit a quick toddler visit, they are set up for anglers rather than picnics or paddling. If you want an adults-only trip, Lakeside is the one, and its £8 tickets are the cheapest way in. For an overnight stay built around fishing, Redwood Park's cabins are worth the extra planning. Maran Lakes suits a half day out if you already know your way around a fly rod.
