Stångåns och Kinda kanals kanotled

The Stångån water system is perhaps the county's best paddling water. You can start far upstream of Vimmerby and paddle all the way down to Roxen. Here is a description of the lower parts of the canoe route, from Rimforsa to Roxen. The route is a little over five miles long and goes through Kinda Canal and the lakes Järnlunden, Stora and Lilla Rängen and Ärlången. You pass the nature reserves Hackelboö, Viggeby, Brokind and Sturefors and the beautiful cultural environments at Brokinds, Bjärka Säby and Sturefors castle.

Along the canoe trail, you pass nine locks where you have to lift past the canoe, so a canoe cart makes it easier. The lifts are short, the longest just over 400 meters, most around 100 meters. Canoe docks are available at all lifts.
