Description
A paddle where both the starting point and the endpoint are the same, our canoe rental at Barken Lodge in Gladtjärn. Our rental is unmanned, you pick up the equipment yourself and read the instructions available on site. Once you have everything you need, carry the canoe to the water and paddle away through the Strömsholm Canal.
Smedjebacken is located at the top of the canal and offers large open waters such as Norra Barken, Södra Barken, and below Fagersta, you will reach Åmänningen. In these lakes, you will find plenty of beautiful spots where you can enjoy a swim or spend the night in a beautiful environment.

The Canadian canoe is an open boat with 2 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. It is also possible to put in an extra seating pad on the canoe’s floor for a small child to sit in the middle of the boat.
