Paddle the Lake District

Dip your paddle into the waters of the Lake District.

Whether you are a canoeist, kayaker or paddleboarder, paddling on any of the ‘English Lakes’ rewards you with discovering unique, beautiful landscapes backdropped by iconic mountains.

In the Lake District, paddling a lake is never just paddling a lake! Explore secluded beaches and shores, picnic on uninhabited islands, and access England’s highest summits. Each lake will reveal its unique character, influenced by geology, flora and fauna, and human history. Immerse yourself in the worlds of ‘Lake Poets’ Wordsworth and Coleridge, Beatrix Potter, Swallows and Amazons, and Donald Campbell’s speed record attempts.
This is the first guidebook to thoroughly describe all of the lakes, for all paddlers. Engaging descriptions and stunning photography will help you to launch into and enjoy fabulous Lakeland.
