Sup With Your Pup is a three-hour sunset stand-up paddleboard (SUP) gathering on Ullswater, launched from Park Foot Jetty in Howtown, England. Held as a special summer evening (next run: 9th July 2026, 5pm–8pm), this limited-capacity event seats twenty paddlers and their dogs for a relaxed, community-focused outing. The setting is Ullswater, a glacial lake in England’s Lake District National Park, ringed by steep, craggy shores and long calm reaches that mirror the fells. From the jetty you push off into water shaped by the last ice age; nearby landmarks include Pooley Bridge to the north and the iconic Aira Force waterfall downstream, both within easy reach after the paddle. What sets this experience apart is its dog-first ethos: paddleboards and lifejackets are provided, there’s a Fell Dog Company pop-up stand, a treats station, dog ice cream and a coffee van, and participants are encouraged to bring a dog life jacket. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or trying SUP for the first time, guides manage the group so beginners feel steady while sociable dogs share the calm coves. The event is deliberately small—only 20 spaces—so the shoreline remains spacious and interaction stays friendly rather than frenetic. You’ll encounter the signature geology of Ullswater—steeply tilted Borrowdale and Windermere Supergroup outcrops at the waterline, cobbled boulder beaches, and the long, narrow form of a ribbon lake carved by glaciers. Birdlife is visible from the board: grey herons and mute swans often patrol the shallows; the surrounding woodland can hide red squirrels and songbirds. The Lake District National Park, established in 1951, provides protection for this landscape and local operators emphasize low-impact use: keep dogs under control near nesting sites and carry out waste. Practical details: meet at Park Foot Jetty; park in Pooley Bridge or book parking at Park Foot reception. Bring a dog life jacket, warm layers, and footwear that grips when wet—paddleboards and human lifejackets come with the booking. Book online via the referral link to secure one of the limited tickets. The mix of slow water, evening light and a dog-friendly crowd makes this more than a paddle: it’s an easygoing social ritual set against some of England’s most dramatic freshwater scenery. For anyone visiting the Lake District with a sociable dog, Sup With Your Pup turns Ullswater into a place to play, meet neighbors, and make small, memorable moments on the water. Staffed guides run safety briefings before launch, and the group pace favors steady standing or sitting for dogs who prefer the latter. Because evenings cool quickly on Ullswater, pack a dry change for you and a towel for your dog. If you want photos, aim for the last fifteen minutes when light slants across the water.
