🌊 The River Lyon into the River Tay Adventure
Discover Scotland’s Tranquil Beauty from a Paddleboard
Join us for an unforgettable paddleboarding journey through one of Perthshire’s most picturesque river routes — where the gentle River Lyon meets the majestic River Tay.
🛶 What to Expect:
Your adventure begins on the peaceful River Lyon, surrounded by rolling hills, ancient woodland, and the soft sounds of nature. The water here is calm and welcoming — perfect for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
As you glide downstream, you’ll have time to pause, breathe, and take in sweeping Highland views, crystal-clear waters, and perhaps even spot some local wildlife: kingfishers darting past, otters slipping into the water, or herons standing tall in the reeds.
At the confluence, where the Lyon flows into the mighty River Tay, the scenery opens up — giving you that sense of true exploration. This stretch offers a gentle current to help carry you along, making it a relaxing yet exciting paddle. The Tay’s wide waters and open skies create a beautiful contrast to the Lyon’s intimate, tree-lined charm.
🌿 Highlights Include:
Calm, beginner-friendly waters with expert guidance
A mix of peaceful nature and scenic open stretches
Opportunities to spot wildlife and local bird species
Historical landmarks along the route
A riverside stop for snacks and chats
