I plan on sailing my dinghy on Derwentwater. Do anyone know any good public launch sites that I could use? I am aware of the two marinas, but I am looking for public slipways or similar.
Thanks for your help.
There is public launching at Kettlewell car park not far from the Borrowdale youth hostel - but this is likely to be busy & is mainly used for kayaks/canoes. There are log barriers to pvent cars drining into the lake, and I seem to remember a height restriction at the entry.
The landing stages at Keswick lakeside are also used for launching kayaks, but there are vehicle restrictions there.
