Good to know.
Is PaddlePal Finder free?
Yes. Browse paddle spots and shared routes on the website without an account. Route pages include a GPX download when a file is available.
How do I find somewhere to paddle?
Search for a town, lake, river or spot name. You can also browse countries, regions and local areas. Spot pages show recorded facilities and nearby places; route pages show distance and a route map.
What should I check before visiting?
Listings are a starting point for planning. Check current access, permissions, weather and water conditions locally before setting out. A listing does not confirm that a place is safe or suitable for your experience.
Something on a listing needs correcting?
