Paddle in varied nature

The canoe trails around Högbo Bruk offer a variety of canoeing in lakes, streams, canals, rapids and ponds. Our short tours start from the Sports Centre at the mill. Here you can paddle on the tranquil Dammsjön, in Högboån and further out on the pleasant paddle lake Öjaren.

In the area there are many beaches and islands to discover. Some of our tours follow the winding, leafy Jädraån and end at the mill. Jädraån also has some smaller rapids that provide excitement and pulse. However, they are no harder than most people manage to paddle them.

Canoe, kayak or SUP?

At Högbo Canoe Arena there are more ways to get across the surface - canoe, kayak or stand up paddle board. When you book our canoe package you can choose between a Canadian or a kayak. If you want to rent SUP, you can do it at Sportcentralen.

Camp and cook

First of all, use the fixed rest areas available in the area. There is often a fireplace, an outdoor fireplace and a garbage stand. If you do not take advantage of the fixed fireplaces, you will be allowed to cook your meals in a camping kitchen. In the summertime, there is often a ban on fire in forests and land. In this case, there is also a ban on heating in fixed fireplaces.

How about combining the best of both worlds - staying one night in a tent and the other the night with us in the hotel. At some rest areas there are wind shelters where you can stay overnight, or prepared areas for tents.

Högbo Outdoor
