About
Love to Paddle Trips with Erne Paddlers 2026
Join us for a weekend social paddle.
Beginners welcome - no experience needed.
These are suitable for everyone aged 14yrs+, including beginners. Participants should be able to paddle at a moderate pace for 2 - 2.5 hours.
These are guided paddles exploring the beautiful blueways of Lough Erne here in Fermanagh with coaching and paddling tips on the go for those who want it.
Open to everyone, you do not need to be a club member to join in.
The trip will be led by our friendly, experienced and highly qualified
coaches, who all have a passion for the outdoors, and providing
awesome experiences for our participants :)
We have excellent, stable touring kayaks that fit a wide range of
people and are straight running, enabling people to enjoy these
journeys.
Equipment
We will provide all paddlesport equipment you need; kayak or canoe, spraydecks, paddles, buoyancy aids and helmets. We will be using sea kayaks for these trips.
The only thing we can't supply is your personal paddling wear.
For these trips, normal outdoor clothes suitable for the prevailing weather (tracksuit, fleeces or walking clothes and waterproofs, including shoes to get wet) are perfectly fine. If you have a wetsuit, that's great, please feel free to wear it. If you are unsure about what to wear just get in touch with us.
A full set of dry clothes including shoes and a towel are essential to bring for your comfort and safety.
Facilities
There will be parking available.
Whilst there may be access to public toilets at the Round O and a few other locations,
please plan not to have to use public toilets. Changing facilities are not usually available.
Arrive ready to go paddling or change at your car as many paddlers do. A changing towel and a mat to stand on make this a much easier and more discrete process, or a large bin liner to sit on on the way home in your paddling kit works well too.
