By Road
By Train
Main stations for the Lake are Slough and Windsor & Eton Riverside but it is also near Burnham, Taplow and Maidenhead.
Slough, Burnham, Taplow and Maidenhead are on the main line west from Paddington Station, London. '125' trains take some 17 minutes to Slough (next stop Reading). Other trains, with variable stopping patterns, take 25 or 40 minutes.
Waterloo Station, London, serves Windsor & Eton Riverside Station with stopping trains taking about an hour. (Note: this station should not be confused with Windsor & Eton Central Station, which is on a branch from the Paddington/Slough line mentioned above).
On Foot
It is possible to walk from Windsor & Eton Riverside Station using the towpath running alongside the River Thames. Cross over Windsor & Eton Bridge into Eton, take the first left and follow this road into Brocas Street. This will bring you on to the towpath beside the Eton College boathouses. Continue on straight for approximately 2.33 miles (3.75 km), you will pass Boveney Lock and then arrive at Eton Dorney Lake.
