The Foyle Boathouse Slipway, associated with the City of Derry Boathouse and Foyle Search & Rescue, provides a good access point to the tidal River Foyle.

Paddlers heading north pass through Derry City, moving beneath the Craigavon Bridge, Peace Bridge, and Foyle Bridge before reaching Lough Foyle and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean.

Heading south from the slipway offers a quieter, more rural paddle along the river.
