Activities on Ullswater Sailing ~ Windsurfing ~ Fishing ~ Angling ~ Rowing ~ Motor Cruising Most of Ullswater's lake bed is owned by either the Dalemain Estates, The National Trust or the Lake District National Park Authority; most of the shoreline is privately owned, however there are various points around the lake where it is permissible to launch sailboards and small craft. Please note that whilst the twenty-two miles of lake shoreline has many inviting beaches, with shallow waves rippling over sparkling stones, the land beneath the water shelves suddenly and deeply, and where it is deeper, it is very, very cold. Ullswater, A Lake User's Guide, is an informative leaflet produced by The Lake District National Park Authority and can be obtained from the Tourist Information Centre at Glenridding.
Fishing or Angling,
whichever you prefer to call it, is mostly for Brown Trout (15th
March to 30th September) and
Perch (June to March). In Ullswater, Goldrill Beck and Brother's Water you do not
require a permit, but a National Rivers Authority rod licence must
be held, and can be purchased on a daily, weekly or annual basis from either the Pooley Bridge or

in the River Eamont which flows from Ullswater, but a permit is
