Places to Paddle
The information presented here was accumulated by our members and should only be used by competent paddlers. Before you even leave the shore, safety should be your first and last though before venturing out on to the water. Bodies of water are an ever changing environment so
safety with a Risk Management Plan in place is crucial.
Some basic things you should ask yourself before setting out on a paddle:
Do we have all the Transport Canada required gear aboard?
Do we have the latest weather forecast?
Are we dressed for the water temperature?
Does your paddling route have a lot of places to get of the water quickly, if conditions change?
We are continuing to add more locations but we need your help. Our goal is to do the whole province and allow everyone access to the information. If you have a route you would like to see added to the map, please fill in the relevant information using the form at: https://forms.gle/pdzk2fsKj9rQXs3cA
Inland Paddle Routes and Launch Sites:
Our plan is to do most of the ponds and lakes in Newfoundland and Labrador. But for now here are 30 ponds on the Avalon and a couple more across the island. Doing the whole province is going to take some-time but we are working on it.
Coastal Paddle Routes and Launch Sites:
The rugged coastlines of Newfoundland and Labrador are the backdrop for awe inspiring paddling adventures. Towering cliffs, canyons, caves and simple rocks create vistas that whisper and call to the child inside you. Providing a return to the joy and purity of discovering what’s around the next corner, what treasure and reward awaits you. Please share your own routes using the form above.
Places to Paddle in Central
Over members in Central have been working on places to Paddle in the Central region of the Province.
We hope to also integrate these paddles into the Inland and Coastal places to Paddle above. And also maintain this separate link for the paddles in the Central region specifically.
