Family Canoe taster sessions

Brought to you by the National Trust and Mobile Adventure, an opportunity to get out on the lake and maybe try something new.

  • Booking essential

If you’re a family with young children and you don’t want to paddleboard separately, you can all go together. A Canadian open-boat canoe can fit a family of up to 4 people (2 adults and 2 young children) and you can join in the session with the paddleboarders before enjoying the freedom to explore more of Derwent Water and practice your new found skills along the way.
