In partnership with the National Trust, we are incredibly excited and proud to offer taster sessions in Kayak, Canoe and Paddle Boarding. Running from Crow Park in Keswick, we offer 3 sessions a day on thursday, fridays and saturdays through the school summer holidays.
Within easy walking distance of Keswick town centre, or with the massive Lakeside car park 2 minutes’ walk away, this has to be the most accessible and best value way of getting out onto the stunning Derwent Water this summer. Suitable for all abilities, you will be shown the basics by one of our highly qualified instructors, and then given the freedom to either go and explore the lake at your own pace or pick up more paddling tips. All equipment is provided, along with wetsuits for those who want them.

Here in the Lake District, we obviously have a lot of water which is great for both kayak, paddle boarding and canoeing activities. If you have already explored the lake, the river connecting the lakes together is another great Lake District canoe skills challenge! Near Keswick we run a full day river trip in either canoe (suitable for total beginners) or kayaks for those who have a little previous experience, either way it will be a full activity day to remember!
For those who want to explore the lake in a VERY different way, we offer raft building activities - no promise of getting very far...!
