Foxlake Adventures

Located in a beautiful woodland setting near the coast, this is Scotland’s first wakeboard cable park and a huge hub for outdoor fun. It is near Dunbar, East Lothian, using the postcode EH42 1XF.

What to Expect and Enjoy
This is the place to go if you want to get wet and have a laugh.

  • FoxFall: This is their unique over-water ropes course. It’s like Ninja Warrior on a lake! You tackle obstacles suspended over the water—if you fall, you just get a big splash. There is no harness, so you can just jump back in and try again.
  • Wakeboarding: Instead of being pulled by a boat, you are pulled by an overhead cable. It’s much easier for beginners to learn this way, and pros can use the ramps and “sliders” in the water.
  • Ziptrail: If you prefer to stay dry, there is a high-ropes course through the trees with zip lines that fly over the woods.
  • Segways: You can go on an off-road Segway tour through the forest trails, which is a bit more relaxed but still great fun.

Best For and Time Spent
This is a paradise for teens and active families. It’s also very popular for adult groups and stag/hen parties.

  • Duration: Most activities are booked in 1-hour slots, but most people stay for 3 to 4 hours to do a couple of different things and grab some food.

Helpful Tips for Your Visit

  • Booking: You definitely need to book your slots online before you go, especially for FoxFall and Wakeboarding.
  • Facilities: They provide wetsuits and helmets, and there are heated changing rooms and showers on-site. Bring a towel and a swimming costume!
  • Food & Drink: There is a fantastic on-site cafe called “Boardside” which serves great coffee, cakes, and proper meals. It has a big deck where you can sit and watch people falling into the water.
  • Parking: There is a large free car park on-site.
