The lake is fed by natural springs, providing significantly clearer water than typical stagnant ponds.
The facility operates a specific cable-tow system designed to teach beginners wakeboarding without needing a boat.
The inflatable obstacle course is modular and periodically rearranged to vary the difficulty of the layout.
The site hosts specific training sessions for open-water swimmers preparing for triathlon events.
The Lake Kilrea WaterPark is an outdoor adventure facility built around a large, spring-fed lake in County Londonderry. The park features a large inflatable obstacle course, known as the Aquapark, which includes slides, trampolines, and balance beams. Visitors can engage in activities such as open-water swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and pedal boating. A dedicated wakeboarding cable system operates on-site for those interested in water-skiing and boarding. The facility is equipped with changing rooms, showers, and a cafe serving refreshments to guests. The water is monitored regularly to ensure safety standards for public recreational use. It serves as a hub for both competitive water sports training and casual family outings.

Bring a wetsuit if you plan to stay in the water for extended periods, as the spring-fed lake can be brisk even in summer.
Book your session online in advance, especially for the inflatable Aquapark, as capacity limits are strictly enforced.
Bring a change of warm clothes and a towel, as on-site changing facilities provide basic amenities but can be busy.
Do not attempt to swim in the lake outside of designated supervised zones or during unstaffed hours.
Open seasonally from spring through early autumn; closed during winter months.
Wetsuits and buoyancy aids are mandatory for all water-based activities; participants must be confident swimmers.
