Officers stopped the family's car at Windermere and they were told to return home to Leigh.
Police even escorted them back to the M6 motorway.
The incredible scene played out more than two weeks after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a lockdown across the UK to save lives and prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed.
Police said the Lake District National Park 'was closed' in the days after the lockdown was announced.
It followed a 'significant number of tourists' ignoring Government advice by visiting Cumbria during the first lockdown weekend.
A message on the Visit Cumbria website reads: "Please respect Cumbria Police, Government and Cumbria Tourism advice not to visit the Lake District and Cumbria during the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis.
"All events have been cancelled across the Lake District and Cumbria.
"Visitor attractions, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities, spas etc in the Lake District and Cumbria have closed.
"Non-essential shops and businesses have closed.
"A national lockdown has been imposed by the Government, which also applies to the whole of Cumbria, including the fells."
Cumbria Roads Policing Unit revealed details of their stop on Twitter.
They said officers were 'policing all routes' into the Lake District.
The unit said: "This family of six (2 adults, 4 children) had come from Leigh, Lancs, for a trip out to the Lake District today.
"Stopped at Windermere and advised to return.
"We are policing all routes into the lakes.
"Escorted back to the motorway. #stayhomesavelives."
