Doe Park Reservoir

The route takes you along the dam and the lake before visiting Foster Park in Denholme. It's a pleasant and peaceful place for a walk with fine views across the water to the rolling hills beyond. You'll often see sailboats and a variety of birdlife on the water too. On the route there's also views of the Denholme Beck and Capereley Beck before visiting the pleasant trails in Foster Park.
The reservoir is also home to Doe Park Water Activities Centre where you can try sailing, canoeing, kayaking, dragon boating and raft building.

Footpath near the southeast corner of Doe Park Reservoir. The many springs and small streams on the hillside mean the path spends much of its time underwater, a problem which was overcome by placing thick flagstones along the path like a series of stepping stones, and more recently by wooden planks covered in wire mesh to prevent slipping.
