Boat Launching Loch Lomond: Water Access & Registration |
|
There is one slip for boat launching on the site. This is hard surface to an extent but then all sand before the water's edge and into deeper water. The water is very still though, so no danger of the boat drifting in currents. You can see the main sliping point in the photograph on the left. Boats cannot be parked by the lodges (site rules) - parking is up past the water plant, close by the jetty There is £75 (plus VAT) fee to pay to the site owners but this includes one slip by tractor in, and out at the end of your stay and the use of a guest mooring and a tender. Please ensure that you have adequate insurance for mooring your boat as well as the correct tie up to a mooring. If you have lanched here in the past, there is now (from 2009) no longer the facility to launch yourself. This is a great site for sailing and power boating as well as canoeing and windsurfing. The loch is quieter at these northern strecthes but generally the loch is so big it very seldom appears busy. All boats require a permit – this is free but there is a small charge of £5 for the number stickers which you need to display on the hull. There are patrols on the loch by the park authority to ensure that the bylaws are followed for everyones safety. Sorry - but the site owners do not permit jet bikes to be launched and used at the site. More info:- www.lochlomond_trossachs.org , where there is Registration form to download Tel: 01360 870412 These facilities are excellent and controlled by staff. But you can also register your boat at Milarrochy Bay east Loch Lomond which you pass on the way to the lodge which more handy - suggest to call the number above if you are passing through Balloch on the way to the lodge as it might save another trip to get registered.
