More about us

Shannon Paddlers was founded in December 2017 whose purpose is that people of all ages and abilities will discover the huge benefits of paddling. Our aim is to promote “Wellness on the Water” through providing paddling based activities in the Lower Shannon area.

From our base at O’Briensbridge Co. Clare, we provide kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding experiences. These experiences will range from beginners (for those who have never been on the water before) to experienced people who want to regularly paddle the many beautiful canoe trails which fan out from our base, and to anyone in between.

We provide all the necessary qualified instruction and safety, boats and equipment.

Why the club was formed

The motto of the club is Wellness on the Water. The vision is to make paddling activities available to every member of the community, both men and women, and including those who are over 55 years of age and who do not think of themselves as being candidates for this type of activity – until they see the rest of us out on the water!
