Five paddlers on stand-up paddleboards line up on the flat water of Liyu Lake, Hualien, paddles raised overhead with a cloud-wrapped ridge behind them

Liyu Lake SUP

SUP on Hualien's quiet mountain lake.

A half-day stand-up paddle session on Liyu Lake — flat water ringed by forest, open all year. Easy for first-timers, friendly for kids.

Why Liyu Lake

Liyu (鯉魚潭) is a small mountain lake ~25 minutes south of Hualien City, ringed by forested ridges and no power-boat traffic. The water is flat almost every day, which makes it the most forgiving SUP spot on the east coast — and the only one we run year-round.

Season

Open all 12 months. Early mornings and sunsets are the nicest light; summer afternoons can get hot but the water stays calm.

Age6+; kids with a parent on the same board
SwimmingNon-swimmers OK — CE PFDs, leashes, guide support
