Welcome to Castle Canoe Club
The Castle Canoe Club is an open and friendly adult canoe and kayak club. We welcome everyone from beginners to the more experienced paddler. Experienced paddlers are on hand at regular sessions and we organise various courses throughout the year. Our active canoe polo group train and play each club session. We also run trips (including whitewater and sea kayaking) throughout the year.
We’re based at the West Reservoir Centre just off Green Lanes in Stoke Newington (N4 2HA). We have access to a large selection of equipment and excellent modern changing facilities.
You must either be a member of our club or sign up to one of our induction session to paddle here. We’re open Sundays 10:00-13:00 and Tuesdays 18:00-20:00. Members can also paddle at other times for £10 if available – call (020) 8442 8116.

Saturday, 8th December: Sea kayaking trip: Two Tree Island to Benfleet All day: Join us for a sea paddle before the winter really closes in. This trip is ideal for paddlers new to sea kayaking and those with experience too. If you’re interested in coming, please email Carolyn on cconway2uk@yahoo.co.uk You can hire all necessary equipment from the reservoir for £ 20, but will need to be available to collect boats some time on Friday 7th and to help return them on Sunday morning. Only other costs are petrol money for the drivers and we usually fit in a visit to the café before and/or after the paddle. Let us know if you need a lift/equipment or if you could drive and how many sea kayaks you could take. Please note the trip is weather dependent. |
