Had a really wonderful experience renting a canoe for 3 hours on the River Barrow. There’s a clearly marked route along the canal and river, which made it perfect for first-timers like us. Huge thanks to Abby and Rachael, who were incredibly helpful and made the whole experience amazing!

I highly recommend Go With The Flow River Adventures. I had such a lovely time. Clashganny is a beautiful area and wonderful amenity. Charlie is an excellent guide, very informative and interesting. The nature is stunning and Bloom is a delight. Our family group ranged in age from 12 to 52 and we all loved it and will definitely go again.

Fantastic Trip this morning along the River Barrow with our instructor Charlie and Bloom🐾. Charlie told us lots of interesting facts about the Canal Ways, Locks and the toe path. Excellent experience and the scenery was amazing and so peaceful 🛶🛶🛶

I took my brother and 75 year old dad on the “Spills & Thrills” tour and hands down, it was amazing! The tour was perfect and going down the weirs and rapids and back up through the locks was so much fun! Charlie is a fantastic guide and if you are looking for a fun time, I would highly recommend this tour 👍🏼

It was wonderful! Myself and my sons (ages 14 and 9). had a great time kayaking. Great that you can kids from 7 years old (hard to find somewhere to kayak for my 9 year old son). Great slopes. And booked from today to tomorrow, it was amazing. We caught a sunny day and amazing views. Thanks for such an outing.
