The canoes can be used for a pleasant family trip on the fjord. They are free to borrow and can be unlocked with a simple text message. Life jackets are available.

In Gershøj Harbour, the canoes are located by the parking area near the small beach. At Møllekrogen, Selsø Møllekrogen Boat Club provides space for the canoes, which are placed right by the parking area.

The concept is first come, first served and cannot be booked.
