The Riga region is on the outskirts ofthe capital Riga. Although it is a denselypopulated area with an active businessenvironment, it offers a wide rangeof outdoor recreation opportunities.There are not many cities in Europewhere people are able to enjoy an urban environment while at the sametime relaxing in peace and quietofnature or taking part in forest or waterrecreation activities in the surroundingarea. A beach on the coast of the Gulf ofRiga is about a half-hour’s drive awayfrom the city. Also there is a number ofrecreational places by the river Daugavaand the river Lielupe.Downtown Riga also offers active leisurefacilities like boating along the City Canalor the city’s lakes. Travelling along theCity Canal offers a different perspectiveof the city. There are a lot of lakes near the capital Riga offering a variety ofactive water sports opportunities. Thecalm river-mouths of the river Gaujaand the river Daugava are perfect forrelaxing stand-up paddling that may becombined with yoga or fitness elementson windless days.

We reccomend:

• In periods of high-water, the Lielā Jugla river has many rapids that form large waves between Bajari and Zaķumuiža. The banks of the river are mostly overgrown with bushes, so make sure you choose the best time for a landing place.
• The character of Svetupe and Jaunupe rivers changes depending on the season. The river flows faster in high-water periods, offering a fast ride, while in summer it challenges you with fallen trees and shallow rapids. To enjoy the rocky cliffs and the challenging river bed, choose proper equipment; recommended for skilled tourists. 
• Misa River is easily to canoe and located very close to capital; wild banks alternate with garden areas. In the high-water season you can navigate the canoe across overflow meadows.
• Daugava (over Rigas Hydroelectric power station) is the perfect route for beginners and paddlers interested in history related objects – World War I Memorial on the Island of Death (Naves sala), a number of castle mounds, etc.
• Vidzeme rocky seaside from Tuja to Vitrupe is one of the most spectacular parts of the Baltic Sea coast. It is famous for untouched rocky capes, picturesque sandstone outcrops which are unique in the Baltic States. The route also includes also Kurmrags lighthouse, the Tuja pier and the Vitrupe ravine.
• Night in Riga – take a boat or SUP trip to Riga city centre which looks like a spectacular stage. The trip starts in the evening with a view of the sunset over the river Daugava, followed by a performance of the city lights and lanterns and illuminated bridges of the City Canal. What a wonderful night in Riga!
• Vecslocene river is rich in contrasts, surprisingly close to Riga. The river is the best choice for people who love nature but are too busy to take longer trips outside the city. Paddling down the Vecslocene River offers also an opportunity to watch the diversity of birds and plants in the Kemeri National Park. The river is surrounded by reed banks, creating labyrinths and making you feel like being in an exotic place.
