What Are sBalance Water Adventures?

The Mērsrags Canal is a favorite destination for swimmers and anglers—but there's another way to experience it. Paddle a SUP board, glide across the water in a transparent kayak, or relax in the quiet comfort of an electric boat. Discover scenic shorelines, winding waterways, fascinating local history, the gentle quacking of ducks, fish beneath the surface, and blooming water lilies around every bend. Choose the adventure that suits you best and set off to explore.

P.S.
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, "No one steps into the same river twice," reminding us that everything is constantly changing. We like to say, "No one enters the same canal twice." Whether it's your first, second, or 101st visit, the canal will be different. The sun will shine differently. The wind will feel different. And you will be different too.

About Mērsraga Canal

Mērsraga Canal connects Lake Engure with the Baltic Sea. It was excavated in 1842 to increase the amount of agricultural land available around Lake Engure. The canal is approximately 4 km long.

The canal was dug by hand using shovels, as modern machinery was not yet available at that time. After the canal was created, the water level of Lake Engure dropped by approximately 1.5–2 metres. The deepest point of the canal is xxx metres, with an average width of xxx metres.

Stories about the construction of Mērsraga Canal mention the “amber fever” — large amounts of amber were discovered here during the excavation. The canal banks were once also a popular location for large-scale events and gatherings.

Today, Mērsraga Canal is a popular destination for anglers and visitors looking for peaceful recreation. The Sensāciju taka (Sensation Trail) has been created around the canal and can also be seen from the water. The trail features 19 interesting facts and stories about the history and significance of Mērsraga Canal.
