Canoe, Kayak or Paddleboard Storage on Derwentwater
Nichol End offers a convenient and accessible storage solution for customers’ small boats, ensuring peace of mind with a dedicated rack that is available for use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The facility allows for an easy check-in and check-out process, alongside access to a rescue service whenever we are open for hire. This added safety feature makes it convenient for both beginners and experienced boaters alike.
Depending on the lake’s height, the distance from the rack to the water varies from 0 to 5 meters. This design enhances the boating experience. It allows for seamless transitions onto the water. This process is significantly easier compared to the hassle of storing your boat at home.
