We get together several times a week as friends to paddle different rivers and enjoy the outdoors, the sunsets, the wildlife and the fresh air. From 5:00 – 8:00 pm (4:00 – 7:00 in September) we will embark on a social trip in three locations Gananoque, Brockville and Lyndhurst. With a variety of rental and course packages, 1000 Islands Kayaking will take care of all your equipment, instructional and safety needs.

No need to stress over planning your own paddling adventures this summer. We will take care of everything from transporting equipment, developing exciting paddling routes, safety and instruction for beginners. A gathering at the local pub afterwords is a great way to unwind from your busy week.

Our recreational club membership is good for the entire season and gives you access to all our recreational paddling trips. Meet local paddlers and enjoy the safety of our certified staff. You can also look forward to several special outings where we transport equipment and explore the back lakes of the Rideau Canal, Charleston Lake and Frontenac Park! Check our events calendar for these special trips and outings throughout the summer and fall. Every once in a while we get local historians, bird specialists, astronomers or photographers to come along for unique trips.

Membership enrolls you in a three hour introductory course that runs every Thursday evening from either Gananoque or Brockville. Members receive an additional 20% off any 1000 Islands Kayaking program or rental package. This means you can take certification courses, join the paddle fitness program, register your kids in summer camps or bring family and guests out on guided day trips.(yourself + 1 guest will be covered under your membership discount for guided trips and courses)

If you have your own boat and equipment, bring it along and enjoy the social network of local paddlers! We do recommend certain safety features for kayaks on the St. Lawrence so please visit our policies page for acceptable equipment when bringing personal boats to any of our programs.

If you have kids ages 8-15 be sure to check out our youth paddling clubs in Gananoque, and Lyndhurst or the summer camps in Kingston and Brockville.
