Bolmsö kanot och kajak rents canoes and kayaks on the southern part of Bolmsö, in Lake Bolmen. You can choose a paddle lasting a few hours or set out on a longer trip with overnight stops. Visit Sweden says beginners can try paddling for an hour or two; the venue also describes routes around Bolmsö and among the lake’s islands. The lake is said to have 365 islands, and paddlers can go ashore at islands and beaches.

The venue says there are places to stop for a picnic or a swim, and that Lake Bolmen also offers fishing opportunities. To reach Bolmsö, drive across the bridge from Tannåker or take the ferry from Sunnaryd. The rental is on the island’s southern part.

Check current availability before travelling, particularly in November. The information describes options from a one- or two-hour taster to a trip lasting several nights, so the time needed depends on the paddle you choose.
