Water activities on West Scotland's Lochs

Upvote:0

At loch lomond shores you can rent a canoe or kayak. I did that a couple of years ago but the area where you can go with the kayak is small and restricted.

I found it frustrating. The folks renting the kayak are health & safety mad. Not seasoned kayak people.

I'd recommend contacting the local kayak club (You could try Glasgow Kayak Club) and enquiry from there.

I hope that helps.

Over that side I'd be far more tempted to go sea kayaking - check out http://www.seakayakoban.com/ , or my favourite, http://www.rockhopperscotland.co.uk/ for some amazing routes - but if you want to kayak on lochs in the west of Scotland, the following should be useful:

Loch Lomond has quite a few water sports centres that will hire kayaks or canoes.

  • Can you experience are pretty good if you already know how to paddle, or if you need training
  • the Lomond Kayak Club cater more to locals, but they do hire kayaks, and do training sessions occasionally throughout the year
  • The Loch Lomond Outdoor Centre is probably better suited if you are experienced. They have some good loch - river routes
  • Lomond Shores do canoe hire as well - not sure if they do training, or if they just expect you to know what you are doing. This bit is really a tourist centre, so not ideal.
