A booked kayak or paddleboard session / NEAR LURGAN
South Lake paddlesports in Craigavon
Head to Craigavon for a paid paddling session on the lakes, choosing coached instruction or equipment hire according to experience. It is a different outing from the Lough Neagh nature reserve and needs its own arrival point and booking. Leave time for changing as well as the session itself.
Before you go
A hire booking does not include the same teaching as a coached taster. Choose the format that matches confidence and ability, and follow the operator’s current weather and water-condition decisions.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- South Lake Watersports, 1 Lake Road, Craigavon BT64 1AS
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Non-members can pay for hire or a coached session; qualifying membership benefits do not make this a generally free activity. The operator includes wetsuits and buoyancy aids for its standard sessions; bring the requested swimwear, towel and suitable footwear.
- Access and getting around
- The centre lists accessible changing facilities, a Changing Places room and accessible parking. Discuss transfers, equipment and the specific activity with the watersports team; accessible facilities do not make every craft suitable for every visitor.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Current standard hire and tasters are for ages eight and over. Hire requires adult supervision at a two-children-to-one-adult ratio. Confirm the exact session’s swimming, participation and supervision requirements before booking.
