Difficulty level 1 of 5

We have graded all of the routes and trips we offer across our various locations on a scale of 1 to 5 (from easy to moderately difficult).

This experience is suitable for beginners and is rated 1/5 because the section of river you will be paddling on is wide and slow moving.

Prior canoeing experience is not required. You will be given a safety brief and an introduction on how to steer and propel your canoe.

If you can swim and follow instructions then you will be fine!


Take your dog on a canoe trip!

After a day of work take your dog out on a fun paddle on the River Severn 🐶. An exclusive paddle for dogs and their owners! Enjoy nature and the old town of Shrewsbury from the water. Meet other dog owners and have a nice walk at The Quarry Park afterwards. The Doggy Paddle Evenings will be every other week, starting from the 14th of June until the beginning of September.

How does it work?

Meet us at our stand in the Quarry Park at 6.15pm, where we will have your canoe and equipment ready for you. The paddle starts at 6:30pm.

After a short safety brief, we will make sure you are feeling confident on the water, then you can go off and explore Shrewsbury with your dog!

Our canoes are suitable for 2 or 3 people plus 1 or 2 dogs – however, for larger breeds we recommend just one per canoe!
