“The location of sites, and quantity and quality of information available, allows sea paddlers to follow the trail in manageable sections, and shows an unprecedented degree of forward planning and co-operation.”

The Argyll Sea Kayak Trail follows the Argyll coastline, used extensively by sailing vessels. Please be mindful of other water users at all times, and act responsibly.
Paddlers visiting any of the access points on the Argyll Sea Kayak Trail are asked to follow the Leave No Trace principle. There is no litter bin provided at the Arduaine site, so all litter must be removed by paddlers and disposed of responsibly.
