West Lake is located within the south west corner of Colwick Country Park, Nottingham formed originally from gravel workings. Access to the swimming area is via a floating pontoon or a concrete slipway next to the adventure centre. There is no beach but there is a grassy area around the lake. West Lake is also a coarse fishery and is used for canoeing and sailing by the adventure centre.
