Our Canadian Canoes are boats that 2 or 3 people can sit in. These versatile boats are a fantastic bit of kit, with tons of activities, there is something to suit everyone. Whether you fancy a gentle meander exploring Lake Windermere with the family, or a head-to-head time challenge collecting points down the river.


If you are feeling a bit nervous of the water or perhaps have a couple of young children with you, we can fix two canoes together for a stable vessel, that can travel almost anywhere, with no risk of capsizing.
For those that are feeling more adventurous, you can Canoe without stabilisers and take the risk of capsizing. And those that are really up for it, you can spend a weekend training and finish with a white water descent.

Canoes can carry a great amount of kit, so are ideal for a bushcraft expedition. Paddle to a remote venue and set up camp, before cooking lunch over a fire.

Canoes stablised on each other, make for a relaxing exploration of the lake more...

For the braver adventurer where capsizing is a possiblity. Doubles (Canadian Canoes) takes a bit of getting used to, but they are great fun more...

A great way for friends to have a laugh, competing on the lake to find and capture locations. 

Teams get a catermeraned canoe, map and camera and attempt to picture more locations than the other teams.  Locations = Points and Points = more raft building kit! 

The session finishes on a light hearted Raft Building session. Sink or Swim you choose.
