Lake District Watersports

Key Adventures offers canoeing, kayaking, sea kayaking, raft building and racing, pontoon building and coracle paddling in the Lake District. We also offer ghyll scrambling or gorge walking in the Lake District - a high energy wet activity and one of our more popular team challenges.

Canoeing in the Lake District

We use open canoes, primarily, as they are stable, two-person craft which we can raft together if the weather is poor, or if we need additional stability. These canoes are so large that we can carry an enormous amount of equipment which means we can often ditch the cars for the day and journey in canoes from activity to activity, even paddling into the grounds of the hotel in the early evening after a full-day activity event.

We can offer canoeing in any of the following formats:

  • Canoeing Weekend or Expedition
  • Canoeing the length of Windermere
  • Team Challenge Events (e.g. Canoe along Ullswater and climb Helvellyn)
  • River Canoeing Trips (depending on water levels)
  • Tasters and Fun Sessions
  • Instruction and Training (BCU Star Tests and Coaching)

Kayaking in the Lake District

Kayaking, using sea kayaks, is a superb way to cover long distances rapidly on open water. We use these craft as they maintain a straight line reliably and are particularly comfortable. They also have sufficient stowage to carry lunch, overnight kits, etc. if required.

We use more manoeuvrable boats for river trips, white water canoeing events, and BCU training and assessment courses.

Raft Building

Building rafts is one of our more popular activities, often part of a team building or leisure event, starting from a pile of barrels and spars, with a little technbical knowhow, each team builds and test their raft before racing around a speed and manoeuvrable course. It's traditional but not essential to toast the winning team with a glass of champagne.
