The word “access” includes access to and along linear waterways, the coast and also access to specific water sites and appropriate sporting facilities. The provision and improvement of access for canoeing in all its forms is very much encouraged by Canoe England. The overall objective is to increase the number of canoeing opportunities and the introduction of new legislation to give certainty for a right of access to inland waters and the coast.
Paddlers are encouraged to enjoy water responsibly in ways that are compatible with the conservation of the environment and wildlife.
