Across the UK, an unusually dry spring can leave many rivers looking a little lacklustre. When water levels are low those seeking watersport adventures might find their choices limited. However, nestled in the heart of North Wales, on the edge of Eryri National Park, Canolfan Tryweryn stands out as a vibrant exception, offering consistent and exhilarating white-water experiences.

So, what's our secret? It all comes down to the controlled releases from the Llyn Celyn dam that feeds the River Tryweryn. These releases aren't just for our enjoyment, though we certainly benefit! They play a crucial role in supplementing the flow of the River Dee downstream - and they are sorely needed in sustained dry spells. 

When the Dee experiences lower than usual levels, the releases from Tryweryn ensure it at least has enough water to support the wildlife that calls the river home.

For us at Canolfan Tryweryn, the National White Water Centre this means one thing: guaranteed thrills! On any day when the dam is releasing water – which is a regular occurrence in spells of warm, dry weather – you can be confident that the river is flowing at an optimal level for truly exhilarating white-water rafting. There's no need to fret about whether your session will be tame or if the water will be too low to make it exciting. If the dam is releasing, the rapids are waiting!

Not all rafting experiences in the UK are created equal. Many rely on natural river flows, which can be significantly impacted by the lack of rain.

But here at Canolfan Tryweryn, we offer a reliable and consistently exciting white-water adventure, regardless of the wider weather conditions. Massive 9 cumec dam releases ensure that every paddle stroke is met with the rush of proper rapids. 

So, if you're looking for adrenaline-pumping white-water experience, look no further. Come and join us where if the dam is releasing, the water is flowing and the adventure is on!
