Explore the Two-Acre Fishing Lake at Homestead Lake Country Park
Two acre fishing lake – the jewel in the crown
Whether you choose to partake in a spot of fishing or not, it is hard not to appreciate the inexplicable and inherent calming effect of water. When you visit Homestead Lake County Park for the first time one of the first things you will see at the base of the holiday park is, a spectacular two acre lake of some 250 feet in length.
The centrepiece lake is home to several lake-side fishing lodges and offers an impressive backdrop to the park. The lakes at Homestead also play an important ecological role within the park and are host to an abundance of wildlife, which is enjoyed greatly by all who visit.
Well-Stocked Fishing Lake for Anglers and Nature Lovers Alike
Our lake is well stocked with a rich variety of coarse fish species: carp, bream, perch, tench, roach and eels. Anglers can choose from approximately 30 designated swims, including one designed for disabled access – ensuring everyone can enjoy the peaceful fishing experience.
A Lakeside Lifestyle, Close to the Coast
Located within 25 acres of landscaped countryside and just 5 miles from the East Essex coast, our lakeside setting provides immediate access to the Essex Sunshine Coast. It’s the perfect serene escape, whether you're arriving for a quiet lodge retreat or planning a weekend break.
Even if you're not planning to cast a line, the lake’s tranquil presence is undeniably relaxing. Surrounded by abundant wildlife and gently landscaped banks, both the main lake and the smaller secondary lake at the rear offer idyllic settings for wildlife watching, family picnics, or contemplative strolls.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the two‑acre lake plays a key ecological role – supporting local wildlife and helping to create the peaceful, natural atmosphere that defines our park.
Finite lake - infinitely beautiful
Towards the rear of Homestead Lake holiday park lay a second lake. Although somewhat smaller than the main fishing lake, it remains one of the most beautiful areas of the leisure park and a great location to get acquainted with park wildlife while, enjoying a picnic or taking a relaxing walk.
