Lake District Sports - Lake District Kayaking

Kayaks are also North American in origin, but this time we mean the Eskimo or Inuit peoples of the extreme north. Kayaks were used for long sea journeys as well as for hunting, leading to the development of highly manoeuvrable craft that are also capable of keeping out the waves. With a double-bladed paddle giving total control, and a fully enclosed boat that feels like an extension of your body, you’ll soon be ready to tackle lakes, rivers, rapids, mountain streams – even the coastal surf.

Remember: white water depends on rain and snowfall. Winter and Spring can be the most exciting times of all. Local activity providers will be able to supply all the equipment, instruction and advice you need for a breathtaking experience.
