Canadian Canoeing

Canadian Canoeing or 'open boating' is the method of transport that the Indians used. A rapidly growing sport with all ages. As well as on flat water they can be used to negotiate rapids or take on big expeditions around the world. There are lots of different styles of Canadian Canoe and you can fit from 2 up to 4 people in a boat. A great fun activity as a group. We use them to navigating the beautiful inland waterways around us. It’s a great feeling as you feel as though you are going back in time. There are specialist strokes to learn and lots of opportunities for games and challenges.
