Selection of boats on Fairhaven Lake
Information about Fairhaven Lake including opening times.
Fairhaven Lake is one of the borough's most popular attractions. Situated between Lytham and St Anne's, the salt water lake is positioned directly on the coast next to Granny's Bay and Stanner Bank. It measures 1200m by 400m and is 1.2m at its deepest.
The lake accommodates many recreational uses including motorboat, canoe and rowing boat hire. For the less adventurous we have an electrically powered motor launch equipped to carry up to 20 passengers around the lake on a 10-15 min cruise.
Annual contracts can be obtained for the use of personal craft and are available at the booking office. Other lakeside facilities include a café and the RSPB Ribble Discovery Centre.
There is a large selection of wild fowl naturally based at the lake including a group of more than 250 Canada Geese, several Swans (including a solitary Black one) and many coots, water hens and other smaller fowl.
Recreational facilities include crown green bowling, tennis courts, basketball court and the very popular wheeled sports facility .
Car parking is available at both ends of the Lake. Facilities are open throughout the Easter holidays and Spring Bank Week then weekends only until the Summer Holidays. Opening times are from 10am to 6pm daily however, they may vary dependant on weather conditions.
