Nottinghamshire, England

Trent Bridge put-in (Nottingham)

Launch — A slipway running down to the river from Waterside Way, within the Trent Basin development.

Access — Reached on foot or bike via Waterside Way or the Trentside Path, a public bridleway and cycle route running along the Trent's north bank.

Season — Canal & River Trust occasionally closes stretches of the Trent Navigation for maintenance work, so check their notices and stoppages page before setting out.

Regulations — Canal & River Trust manages this stretch of the Trent for navigation from Shardlow to Gainsborough Bridge, and requires paddleboards, canoes and kayaks to hold a valid small craft or Paddle UK waterways licence before launching.

A put-in on the River Trent's north bank in Nottingham, within the Trent Basin riverside development, close to the Nottingham Sea Cadets unit T.S. Orion and a little upstream of Holme Pierrepont's National Water Sports Centre.

The slipway sits within Trent Basin, a low-energy riverside neighbourhood built since spring 2016 on the site of the former Trent Lane Depot, which the developer describes as "Nottingham's largest Trent-side cargo facility, and indeed the largest on the Trent."
