Water sports

We all know the river Mayenne for its slow, peaceful, tranquil pace… But did you know that the Mayenne is also a playground for much more dynamic activities?

Here’s a small selection of sensational leisure activities that await you!

It’s not just kayaking on the river…

Let’s start with the calmest of sporting activities: paddle boarding. Perched on a large board, equipped with your paddle, you’re the master of the river! Glide along the water, get close to the banks and observe nature from a completely different angle! Who knows, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to come across some of the animals that are emblematic of the wildlife around the Mayenne: heron, kingfisher, cormorant… and if you’re really lucky, you might come across the otter or the beaver, which have made a comeback in the department!

We don’t have the mountains, but…

But you can go skiing in Mayenne! The only difference is that we’ve swapped the snowy slopes for the riverbed!

The Château-Gontier water skiing and wakeboarding club can introduce you to these disciplines, which combine balance, speed and, for the more experienced, acrobatics.

What’s more, it’s an activity suitable for everyone! The club has boats specially adapted for children: baby-skis for 3-7 year-olds and kids boats for 8-12 year-olds. People with disabilities are also catered for, with adapted equipment so they can try out the joys of gliding!

A full range of sensations…

When the Mirwault channel to the north of Château-Gontier turns into a thrill ride, it’s because the water-ski club’s towed buoy is out!

Speed, bends, jumps in the boat’s eddies: we promise you lots of laughs and lots of memories!
The towed buoy can be used by up to 4 people at the same time, and is accessible from the age of 6. The boat’s pilot adapts his speed to the participants, making it an ideal activity for children!
