Discover The Magic Of Derwentwater With A Relaxing Two Hour Family Friendly Canoeing Adventure Session


Canoeing at Derwentwater offers a delightful and accessible way to explore the lake while remaining mostly dry. This activity is perfect for families, groups of friends, or even those bringing pets along for the journey. The canoes provide ample space for carrying picnics, snacks, and other essentials, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely time on the water. As you paddle along the calm surface, you will have plenty of opportunities to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.


The lake is teeming with wildlife, providing a wonderful backdrop for your adventure. Keep a sharp eye out for playful alpacas that often gather at the water’s edge, and look for the diverse birdlife that calls the area home. For a touch of local magic, consider stopping at one of the islands to enjoy a picnic or search for the legendary faeries and rumored pirates said to inhabit the area. It is an enchanting experience that captures the imagination of all ages.


Our instructors are dedicated to helping beginners learn the basics of paddling and balance, ensuring that no prior experience is needed to enjoy the session. Canoeing allows you to navigate the lake at your own pace, making it a suitable activity for all ages and abilities. We provide buoyancy aids free of charge, which must be worn at all times for your safety. This ensures that you can focus on the fun and beauty of the lake with complete peace of mind.


While you are likely to stay dry, it is wise to bring a towel, a change of clothing, and suitable footwear that can get wet. On sunny days, remember to bring sunglasses and sun lotion to protect against the glare, while a warm jacket is recommended for cooler weather. Please keep electronics safe by using a dry bag or leaving them behind. By preparing accordingly, you can fully enjoy your two hour canoeing adventure on the stunning waters of Derwentwater.
