Canoe England

Canoeing offers something for everyone, from calm steady paced touring on canal and placid waters to competitive canoe sprint and facing the challenge of racing down white water. From exploring fantastic coastal scenery by sea kayak to performing the ultimate playboat moves while 'playing' and 'shredding' the river. Canoeing offers something for everyone young or old.

Canoeing can offer a relaxing, once or twice a year tour on a local canal, an adventurous trip, or expedition on the thousands of miles of waterways in the United Kingdom and the Continent. An interest in Canoeing can be an all consuming hobby, exciting, challenging and testing on white water, on the sea or through the numerous competitive disciplines. Choose the level of challenge to suit. Canoe for enjoyment, to keep fit or, if you have kids, paddle as a family and enjoy the experience together.

The British Canoe Union, as governing body of canoeing, has an established range of specialist committees to help promote and inform on aspects of their discipline specialism's. We also promote a large network of competitive events offering the chance to take part in 'Taster Events' and perhaps even the real chance to represent your country.
