The slipway at Bathpool moorings sits along the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal, providing boat access to this 14. 5-mile waterway that runs through the Somerset lowlands between Bridgwater and Taunton.

It is noted as a launch point for local, portable, and trailable craft on the canal. All craft using the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal require a licence and a mooring permit.

The canal is managed by the Canal & River Trust and is navigable throughout its length, with maximum boat dimensions applying at various locks and bridges along the route.
