What do you need to know about Canoeing?

Great for all groups and anyone who's never been canoeing before. Canoeing is great fun so suits everyone from your little people to adults. The bonus of this outdoor activity is that you don't even have to get wet if you don't want to........but we can't guarantee it!

Open canoes are two person boats paddled with a single blade paddle. Sessions are first and foremost a fun day out and an idyllic way to explore the lakes. 

We'll stop off and explore the islands or beaches and have a hot drink boiled over an open fire.
