On the water
Kayaks, swimming, fishing and walking, all starting at the gate.
The slow half of the holiday
Not every day has to have an engine in it. The lake is right there, the water is warm from June, and a kayak gets you into the narrow reed channels that a motorboat cannot reach quietly.
Kayaks are available by the hour at a reasonable price. Swimming is straight off the shore, or in the pool if you would rather have a ladder and a sun lounger. Fishing on the lake can be arranged, and there are walking routes that start at the gate and run out along the shore and up towards Zabljak Crnojevica.
None of this needs booking in advance. Ask at the restaurant in the morning.
What is available
Kayak rental
By the hour, straight from the shore. The reed channels close to the resort are the nicest part and the easiest paddle.
Fishing
The lake is full of carp and bleak. We can point you to the right spots or arrange someone to take you out.
Walking
Routes from the gate along the shore and up towards the old fortress at Zabljak Crnojevica, about two kilometres away.
Questions
How much does a kayak cost?
Kayaks are rented by the hour at a modest price. Ask at the restaurant, and if you are staying several days we will usually work something out.
Is the lake safe for swimming?
Yes. The water near the shore is shallow, clean and warm through the summer. As on any large lake, keep an eye on the wind if you swim far out.
Do I need a fishing permit?
Skadar Lake is a national park, so fishing is regulated. Ask us before you start and we will tell you what currently applies and help you sort it out.
Take it slowly
Book a cabin and decide the rest when you get here. That is rather the point.
