Launching Information

Small wooden jetty to launch from, on yonside from the carpark. Don't be fooled by the bridge, it doesn't actually go over the canal, it's solid ground below so you don't need to portage that far, it's a short walk from the car park.

Free Launching

Yes

Paddling Information

Just head south. No locks for ages, so a lovely chilled out paddle. When you get close to crooklands, there is a narrow boat that does river cruises, so keep an eye out.
