Please be advised that due to the long period of hot weather and no foreseeable rain forecasted, water levels in all areas are low.   We are doing all we can to maintain navigation on the K&A and we ask all our customers to assist us.

Please follow local signage on locks and make sure where requested that all paddles are completely lowered.

With your help we can maintain navigation and enjoy cruising on this beautiful waterway.   Should misuse occur further restrictions especially on the summit pound may apply.

You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] or 03030 404040 if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team.
