Hurley Weir

(Redirected from Hurley weir)

Hurley Weir is an area used for freestyle Kayaking in the United Kingdom. Hurley is located in the South East of England, near to the town of Marlow, and just downstream from Henley on Thames .

The weir consists of 4 main gates which are opened according to the river levels, with 3 gates considered the optimum level.

Hurley is the centre of a very active paddling scene in the Southeast od England, and attracts paddlers from a considerable distance, which can lead to long queues at weekends. Hurley also hosts an annual rodeo competition, the hurley classic.

For more information see thamesweirproject, which will have up to date level information and an active message board.
