Wild River offers quality paddlesport coaching and courses in the Lake District and beyond. If you cannot find the course you want or the date you need then please contact us and we will try to meet your needs.
In March 2024 British Canoeing changed its name to Paddle UK. The new name is to reflect the demographics of its evolving membership and is far more inclusive as it captures more fully the breadth of paddling activity that falls under its responsibility, including kayaking, canoeing, stand up paddleboarding and paddlesport.
