Boating on Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is the largest body of freshwater in mainland Britain. The loch, its islands and shores are used by visitors throughout the year for a range of recreational interests, including boating, water-skiing, sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing and camping.

There is a need to balance environmental, economic and social pressures on Loch Lomond; to ensure that the loch can be enjoyed safely and responsibly; and to prevent the things that make it special from being over-used or degraded.

Before launching on Loch Lomond please register your vessel and familiarise yourself and passengers with the Loch Lomond Byelaws. Our Ranger Service is available at the Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway to offer any guidance and support.
