Route Schematic
Route schematic & key stops
Three clear stages map the outing from launch to finish: briefing and boarding at Rökeriet, the open river section, and equipment return at the småbåtshamn where Smedjeån meets the Lagan.
Rökeriet — start and instruction
The tour’s practical start: participants receive a short instruction and board their SUPs at Rökeriet before launching onto the river.
Paddling on the Lagan
You paddle downstream on the Lagan; river conditions can include obstacles and shallower water where sitting or lying on the board increases stability and control.
Småbåtshamnen / meeting point — finish
The outing ends at the småbåtshamnen where Smedjeån flows into the Lagan: return boards and any rented gear and collect your parked car.
Participants should be able to swim and have normal fitness; paddling is done at one’s own risk and operators may advise sitting or lying on the board if you encounter shallow water or obstacles.
