Paddling
We offer many options to experience and explore Tiveden National Park from the water.
Ösjönäs is surrounded by the lakes Lilla and Stora Trehörningen. It’s a paddle paradise and easier than you think. We offer rental of SUP, kayaks (both single and double) and canoes. You can rent half day, full day, over night and even a few hours in some cases. Tiveden is a wonderful forest and we recommend the combination of canoeing and hiking on some of the beautiful hiking trails in the park.
