Dorney Lake

Dorney Lake uses some of the most up-to-date technology, making this venue perfect for hosting such an important event as the 2012 Games.

• The main rowing lake is 2,200 metres long.
• The lake has eight lanes, each 13.5 metres wide with a minimum depth of 3.5 metres.
• The lake is filled of water coming from underground streams percolating through a natural gravel filter.
• Algae growth is discouraged by using barley bales.
