Paddleboarding around Loch Earn, starting from the village of St. Fillans in the Scottish Highlands, offers an unforgettable experience surrounded by nature's beauty, majestic landscapes, and peaceful waters.
Embarking from St. Fillans -
St. Fillans, located at the eastern end of Loch Earn, is a great place to begin your paddleboarding adventure. The village itself is charming, nestled between rolling hills, and offers easy access to the loch with its calm, inviting waters. From here, the loch stretches westward for about 10 kilometers (6 miles), providing plenty of space to explore.
The Scenery
As you set off from St. Fillans, you'll immediately be struck by the breathtaking views. To the south, you'll see the hills of the Highland Boundary Fault, while to the north, the rugged slopes of Ben Vorlich rise majestically. The waters of Loch Earn are usually calm, making them perfect for a relaxing paddle, though on windier days, you may feel a slight challenge that adds to the adventure.
Wildlife and Nature -
The shores and waters of Loch Earn are rich with wildlife. You might spot a variety of birds, including herons, ospreys, and even the occasional golden eagle soaring overhead. Along the shoreline, look out for otters and red squirrels. The loch is also home to trout and pike, so you may catch glimpses of fish darting beneath your board.
Tranquility and Reflection -
One of the highlights of paddleboarding on Loch Earn is the tranquility. The loch, especially on calmer days, becomes a mirror, perfectly reflecting the surrounding hills and forests. The peaceful atmosphere allows for a sense of escapism, and the soft lapping of the water against your board adds to the meditative experience.
Remember to Pack -
Don’t forget to bring a packed lunch or snack, warm clothes for layering, and a drink. The Highland weather can be unpredictable, and having these essentials will ensure you stay comfortable and well-fed during your paddleboarding adventure.
Please note that all paddling activities are dependent on wind conditions remaining within safe limits and may be adjusted accordingly. While refunds are not available, we will be happy to offer alternative adventure options to ensure an enjoyable experience.
