The London 2012 website provides the following description of the venue for the 2012 rowing.
The course at Dorney Lake in 2006
Looking down the course from the boatsheds during training
Dorney Lake is a 2,200m, eight lane course with a separate return lane recently constructed to international standards by Eton College.
The project was a great success and, in 2006, the Dorney Lake hosted the Rowing World Championships, with high praise from both competitors and spectators.
Dorney Lake is set in a 400 acre park with a Nature Conservation area. During the bid to host the 2012
Games, funding was provided to build a new finishing tower at the course.
The existing Eton College Rowing Centre at Dorney Lake will be enhanced to provide improved facilities for athlete warm up and Flatwater Canoe/Kayak competition. A planning application for the improvements is due to be submitted this summer.
Design and construction will take place in 2009-10, ready for a test event prior to the 2012 Games.
