Loch Lomond Hints & Tips

Before i traveled up to Scotland last year, i had a nose online about the best places to launch around Loch Lomond and didn't really find much. Maybe i wasn't looking hard enough, but i thought i'd share my findings with you guys on where i went and the best places i found. Always w

ear a BA, thems the rules :) 

Balloch

 Launching from Balloch was really easy. You just head towards the main shopping centre but take the turning for the slipway. There's plenty of sign posts along the way so you can't get lost. Once you're there, you can launch right off the slip and into the stunning waters of Loch Lomond. Be aware of the boat activity on the water though, there's plenty of it. 

Luss

 Just a few mins around the corner from Balloch is Luss. There is a watersports pop up here and you can hire sup boards and canoes too. Or, you can launch your own. There is a small car parking fee aswell, so take some pennies.

Tarbet

 Carrying on North up the A82, you'll find Tarbet Pier. I didnt actually launch from here but we took the dog for a work and seem some kayakers heading out :)

Balmaha

 On the western side of the Loch, you'll find Balmaha. You can park in the reserve car park and walk across the road to the slip way. If you don't fancy a paddle, its a perfect spot for a nature walk or a pint.

If you have any questions let me know
