Description
Explore and enjoy beautiful canals and stunning views with our amazing canoe trip! At Lakeside Adventure, we offer everything you need to have a memorable experience. This package includes a 7-day canoe rental, delivery of the canoe to the starting point, canoe wheels for easy land transport, paddle, life jacket and a laminated map with detailed descriptions of exciting sights along the way and perfect camping spots to enjoy.
Let the adventure begin at Smedjebacken guest harbor, easily accessible by car or train. As you paddle along the canal, you’ll follow in the footsteps of history as the canal was built over 225 years ago to transport goods between the industrial towns along the way. Each stop played an important role in the process from mine to metal, which was then shipped from Borgåsund to Stockholm. You’ll be impressed by the historical canal locks that still operate in the same way as when they were built.
If you want to see the entire canal, you can end the tour in Borgåsund, but you can also choose to finnish earlier in Hallstahammar. You can park at the starting or ending point and easily take the train back to your car when you’re finished. To facilitate your journey to the starting point, we also offer a free local bus, VL line 120, from Borgåsund to Hallstahammar with a transfer to a train towards Smedjebacken. Please note that the bus does not operate on Sundays.
Your canoe will be available at the starting point from 10:30 the first day. It will be locked with a combination padlock, and you will receive the code in the morning when you start the tour. You will need to take care of the lock and use it to lock the canoe at the endpoint.

The Canadian canoe is an open boat with 2 or 3 seats. This boat is easy to pack and can be paddled with a single paddle. It is great for smaller lakes and river trips. The Canadian canoe has a total maximum weight capacity of 250kg, with a maximum of 200kg for human weight. In our canoes, we take a maximum of 2 adults per boat. We use the middle seat for smaller children. It is also possible to fit 3 smaller teenagers in a Canadian canoe.
