Boston Canoe Club

Boston Canoe Club, an affiliated PaddleUK club, was formed in 1995 and can be found on the River Witham, near the Sluice Bridge.

When and Where?

Weekly meetings take place on a Wednesday evening between 6.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. from May to September. Regular Saturday pool sessions are held during the winter months.

Club members regularly arrange a variety of trips out depending on individual abilities, skills and experiences. These are organised on an individual level and are separate from club activities.

What do I need?

New and experienced paddlers from age 8+ are welcome. The club can provide all the equipment you need to paddle. You will need to bring something to wear on the water (including footwear), a towel and a change of clothes.

Why take up Canoeing or Kayaking?

First of all, because its fun! It is a great sport that allows you to develop both technical and personal skills. It allows you to enjoy the water in many ways: from gentle paddles, to more exhilarating white water, sprinting or games of polo.

It offers you an important chance to release the pressures from the week. It is a social activity and we have great fun on (and off!) the water.

Canoe or Kayak?

Both! Canoes are traditional open boats usually powered by single bladed paddles. Kayaks have closed cockpits, usually covered with a spray deck and powered by a double bladed paddle. Why not come along and give both a try?
