Derwent Sailing Club

Body of Water

Derwent Reservoir

Description

Decent sized reservoir with safety boat coverage three days a week during the main season. They don't do solo paddlers without safety cover, it has to be buddy paddling (ie more than one person). It's a nice spot and close to Newcastle for those who live near there. 10 visitor passes a year
