Join the club.

Dragonboat and voyageur dropin sessions are open to the public. If you want to try outrigger canoeing contact the OC rep. If unsure what may suit you best contact the DB, OC or Voyageur representative. Sign up is required on the FLCC website. Pay $10 dropin fee and sign a waiver.

Where does the club meet?

Depending on the type of paddling or group you are joining, groups typically meet at the top of the ramp at the Bedford House parking lot or at the red boathouse on the Paddle Sport dock (second ramp West of the bridge). Note: Please confirm the meeting area when you sign up.

Do I need any prior experience?

No experience needed – FLCC offers paddling for all fitness levels from recreational to competitive. Basic instructions will be provided. You do not need to know how to swim, however please note you are required to wear a PFD (Personal Flotation Device) at ALL times while out on the water.

Do I need a lifejacket / what do I bring?

A personal floatation device (pfd) and paddle will be supplied. Bring a bottle of water if the weather is hot. Have a change of clothes in your vehicle in case you get wet – it is a water sport. Note: parking is limited, there are usually spots by the Fort, so allow time to walk down to the dock.

You do not need to buy new gear to start. A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is required on any docks; however, if you do not have one, FLCC will provide one for you to borrow in the short term. Be sure everything you take in the boat can get wet (no electronics, etc). Wear weather appropriate non-cotton layers. Bring a hat and sunscreen, or rainwear. Wear comfortable shoes. We paddle rain or shine but not in extreme weather conditions e.g. wind / thunderstorms.
