Project Summary

Canoe trails enable communities to enjoy the natural and built-up environments of the landscape by reconnecting people to the 'blue space' within the Trent Valley. Canoe Trails are a free resource that give paddlers all the information needed to set out on a canoeing adventure on their own, with family or with friends. They are a great way for people with some canoeing experience to find new and exciting places to paddle and experience the native wildlife and natural heritage up-close.

We are installing new infrastructure including launch and landing points at key locations.

Local canoe clubs will be offering taster sessions as the new trails are launched to encourage people to take up the sport.
