Dubwath contains a sailing club and a restaurant called Pheasant Inn.

The sailing club is a popular tourist location, particularly during 'Bass week' in the summer.

At Dubwath Silver Meadows lottery-funded Bassenthwaite Reflections has established the Lake District's first wetlands nature reserve.

The 7.15 hectares (17.7 acres) site at the northern end of Bassenthwaite Lake is a wildlife haven for nature lovers and bird watchers and an excellent example of 'fen' habitat.

There are viewing points for birdlife and red squirrels - all encouraged by regularly topped up feeders.
