Recreational Flatwater Paddles

Free meet-up adult-oriented group that paddles on Cultus Lake, Hope Slough, Chilliwack Lake and many other local lakes and slow moving waterways. Recreational flatwater paddles are a great way to connect with like-minded paddlers in a beautiful and fun setting. Families are welcome but youth must be accompanied by an adult. These paddles are led by volunteers, and you are responsible for your own skills and safety on the water; you must be able to paddle in a straight line and exit your boat safely.

DATES & TIMES

The group meets each Wednesday to paddle on Cultus Lake and usually paddles elsewhere in the Fraser Valley on the Saturday mornings.

Participants who are new to paddling, and are not comfortable with the skills described above, are encouraged to register for one of our intro kayaking lessons or courses before participating.

Pool Sessions

Pool sessions are arguably the best way for a new paddler to master a roll in their kayak. With all boats and equipment provided, these instructor-facilitated sessions provide an optimal learning environment for one of kayaking’s most difficult and frustrating skills.R

rEGISTER NOW FOR 2025 SESSIONS

Community Whitewater Kayaking

Instructor-led river runs down the Chilliwack River!

These sessions are intended to encourage paddlers to get out and enjoy our amazing whitewater in a fun and supportive environment. Participants must be club members and register for the session. All participants must be comfortable paddling class II+ water and be able to self-rescue.

Please note: Community Whitewater Nights are not lessons. An instructor will assist participants with lines and leading the team down the river. Register for lessons here.

Please note that we do not have any whitewater meet-ups scheduled yet for 2024. Please contact us at ccekayak@gmail.com if you are interested in whitewater kayaking meet up groups.
