Page "National parks of England and Wales" Paragraph 37

; Conflict between recreational users: Some forms of use of national parks interfere with other uses.

For example, use of high-speed boats causes noise pollution, and conflicts with other uses such as boat trips, yachting, canoeing, and swimming.

A controversial bylaw imposing a 10 knot speed limit came into force on Windermere on 29 March 2005.

The new speed limit for Windermere effectively prohibits speedboats and water skiing in the Lake District ( of the 16 larger lakes in the Lake District, only Windermere, Coniston Water, Derwent Water and Ullswater have a public right of navigation ; speed limits were imposed on the three lakes other than Windermere in the 1970s and 1980s ).
