Canoeing Adventure Highlights Wildlife Along Little Blackwater River
A guided canoeing experience on the Little Blackwater River is offering visitors a peaceful journey through one of the region’s most scenic brackish waterways, known for its calm currents and rich biodiversity.
Paddlers move through quiet stretches of water where wildlife is frequently spotted, including bald eagles, osprey, herons, and various species of waterfowl. The tranquil setting allows for uninterrupted views of the surrounding wetlands and forested riverbanks.
Along the shoreline, guests may also encounter turtles, deer, wild turkeys, and the rare Delmarva fox squirrel, all living within the protected habitat near the Blackwater Refuge. The launch point provides direct access to the river, making the experience easy to begin without equipment transport.
Organisers describe the activity as a relaxed and immersive nature experience suited to both beginners and experienced paddlers. The combination of wildlife observation and calm waters makes it a popular choice for those seeking a quiet outdoor escape.

Customer Reviews
For years, the canoe centre has been my go-to supplier for all things kayaking, providing the essential gear for both my personal adventures and for the youth organisation I work for. I've bought everything from "tip to toe," and the level of service has never wavered. The staff are phenomenal first dealing with Shane & Ciaran to the last couple of years with Hugh they have consistently offered knowledgeable and supportive assistance. The online shop is very user-friendly, stocking strong, quality brands that focus on depth of quality. A recent experience highlights their exceptional commitment: When a package went missing after posting, the team at the canoe centre put my needs foremost and promptly dispatched a second package before the original was relocated by An Post. This kind of proactive, customer-first service is why I continue to go back. No matter the size of the purchase, I always feel valued and acknowledged. An absolutely stellar sales and support service. Highly recommended.
Fantastic Level 2 Kayaking Course with Keith! Keith was amazing — patient, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to push us (and when not to!). We (Carmel and Sarah) were the two oldest in the group, with one of us new to kayaking, but he made it fun, supportive, and full of laughs. The group was an added bonus — we’re now all on WhatsApp calling ourselves The Liffey Lickers! Can’t wait for our next river trip with Keith to build on everything we learned.
Have completed several courses with Keith & a river run with Keith & Frank. Absolutely fantastic experience. As a nervous paddler, they were always so calm, helpful & reassuring & always put me at ease. Have learned a lot & had good fun in the process. Highly recommend their courses.
