Paddle Boarding in Devon

Learn how to stand-up paddle board on your holiday at Clawford Lakes

ENJOY THE WORLD'S FASTEST GROWING WATERSPORT!

Stand-up paddle boarding is a real crowd pleaser, which makes it the perfect activity for the whole family to enjoy. Spend some time getting to grips with your paddle board on our Leisure Lake, surrounded by an abundance of wildlife against a backdrop of rolling hills that sweep down the valley into Cornwall. It’s a great way to keep fit, enjoy the outdoors, and experience the lakes from a different perspective. Don’t be surprised if you’re joined by kingfishers and swallows as you practice your stand-up paddle boarding skills.

No experience needed! The calm waters of the lake make it an ideal for first timers but if you are an experienced paddler wanting to refine your skills, there’s plenty of open water space.

Plan ahead and make the most of your stay! Use your personalised Touch Stay guide to book activities and experiences up to 2 weeks before your arrival.
