Dean Head put-in (Kirklees)
This slipway launches onto Scammonden Water, a reservoir created in the 1960s when the Dean Head valley was flooded. The M62 motorway crosses nearby at Scammonden Bridge, and a sailing club has operated from the reservoir's old vicarage, though it is not among Yorkshire Water's currently listed watersports tenants.
