Doggy Paddles 2022

Doggy Paddles at Shaw's Bridge

Go canoeing or Stand Up Paddle Boarding with your four-legged friend! Doggy Paddle experiences at Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast will be taking place on the 2nd Sunday of the month (see dates below).   This year we are offering both canoeing and SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding); both are available to book online; the first session will be on Sunday 10th April at 9.30am. Come and join us and Ed our dog for this dog-friendly activity on the River Lagan!

Dogs just love to be with their owners, so why not try a new adventure.  Ed is a rescue dog from the Dog‘s Trust and loves to explore new things, he loves ‘EDventures’

P.S. you don’t have to bring a dog to be allowed to join in, and you don’t need any experience; suitable for beginners and families.

This is a very dog friendly activity! We will provide all the equipment required: boat, buoyancy aid and paddle. All you need to do is turn up in warm comfortable clothing with an old pair of trainers and a light waterproof jacket, bring a change of clothes and footwear in case you get wet. You do not need a wetsuit canoeing, the plan is to stay in the boat. If you are SUPing a wetsuit is recommended.  If you wish to hire a wetsuit this will need to be booked and paid for in advance £6pp by contacting the office. Please note, parental/medical consent is required. To save time at the start of the session feel free to download this and bring it along with you to the session.
