6 Great Places To Go Paddle Boarding On Dartmoor

Dartmoor is packed full of some of our favourite places to go paddle boarding. There are tonnes of beautiful waterways to explore, all surrounded by some fantastic scenery and wildlife. In order to help you discover the best spots, we’ve put together our top 6 places to go paddle boarding on Dartmoor. These are the top spots that made it onto our list:

Spitchwick

Spitchwick is a very popular location for water sports fans, and you can see why once you’ve visited. The river is surrounded by lots of stunning greenery and wildlife, and there’s plenty of places to launch your SUP. As this is one of the most popular spots to go paddle boarding on Dartmoor, it can get very busy here, and so we recommend going early in the morning during the summer, or indeed during the quieter Autumn season.

Hexworthy Bridge

This is one of the easiest places to go paddle boarding on Dartmoor, however it’s also one of the most beautiful. The river is located right next to the road making it easy to launch your SUP, and you can paddle right under the bridge itself. Just be aware that the water can get shallower in places, with areas of shingle in the middle. For more experienced paddlers, there are some rapids not far from the bridge. Our Wild MSL inflatable SUP is a super nippy board that’s perfect for riding through small river rapids like those found at Hexworthy.
