Explore Winter-Chard’s Serene Waters: A Guide to Kayaking and Paddleboarding in Somerset’s Hidden Gem

As you step out of your Higgins Lake cabin, the warm sun on your skin and the sound of gentle lapping of the water against the shore invite you to start your day with a tranquil adventure. Our mid-century modern chalet, nestled among the trees, is the perfect launching point for a day of kayaking or paddleboarding on Higgins Lake. With its crystal-clear waters, you’ll feel like you’re gliding across a sheet of glass as you explore the lake’s many inlets and coves. The surrounding forest, with its towering pines and deciduous trees, provides a picturesque backdrop for your paddling excursion.

As you make your way down to the lake’s edge, the sound of birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze create a sense of serenity, setting the tone for a peaceful day on the water. Our chalet’s lake access makes it easy to launch your kayak or paddleboard, and before you know it, you’ll be paddling across the lake, taking in the stunning scenery and spotting local wildlife like deer, eagles, and osprey. The clarity of the water allows you to see fish swimming beneath your board, and you might even catch a glimpse of a submerged log or two, remnants of the lake’s natural history.

As you paddle, the stress and worries of everyday life seem to melt away, replaced by a sense of connection to nature and a deep feeling of relaxation. You might find yourself drifting along, lost in thought, as the sun shines down on you and the water laps gently against your board. Or, you might decide to explore the lake’s many hidden coves and inlets, discovering secret spots and making memories that will last a lifetime. Whatever your pace, kayaking or paddleboarding from Winter-Chard is an experience you won’t soon forget.

After a morning or afternoon on the water, you can return to the chalet, tired but happy, and settle in for a well-deserved rest.

You can spend the evening watching the stars twinkling to life above, or gathering around the fire pit, sharing stories of your adventures on the lake.
