Paddling near Ferns, Co. Wexford

Ferns sits in north County Wexford, close to the River Slaney, which is the centrepiece of paddling in this part of the southeast. The Slaney draws kayakers and canoeists for leisurely flatwater trips as well as more advanced whitewater sessions, and a dedicated paddlesports provider operates guided tours and courses directly on the river. Spiritcraft Kayaks and Canoes, based in Ferns itself, stocks a wide range of new and used kayaks and canoes, making the town a practical base for getting on the water.
