Open Canoeing
We offer Open Canoeing across The Lake District, Lancashire, The Yorkshire Dales and further afield. Suitable for everyone and anyone, you can take to the water, learn how to paddle together as a pair or attach two canoes together to form a stable ‘Rafted Canoe’ . This really is a great way to explore the lakes and waterways, taking in the views, as well as some fun and games, perhaps even jumping off into the water from one of the canoes too!
We host our sessions at a number of venues which suit different ages and abilities. Canoeing can also be combined with other activities to make a full day of adventure. Our sessions are suitable for individuals on one of our Open Events where you can join a small group of like minded individuals or get your family or friends together for a private booking of your choice. Take a look below and see what an Adventure Day with us can look like for you!
