Great launching point, lovely spot to paddle so close to Inglewood Bird sanctuary and friendly, knowledgable staff. Canoe, kayak and fact rentals without a lot of lugging.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateIt's a great little spot for a walk in the day time. It appears that the canal will fill with water in the summer, however in the spring and winter it is more a mud puddle than a boat launch. It may not be a great place to visit at night alone. Lots of garbage and evidence of people living rough in the area as well. So, I would suggest a large dog and a friend would make for a better experience.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateSuper great place to start learning slalom kayaking, the current isn't too fast and the course is easy to paddle back up. Harvie passage is also just across the road for an easy step up into harder whitewater. Overall, a great spot to get into slalom!
🏴 Flag as inappropriateI have been a member of the Bow Waters Canoe Club for about 30 years. I have met many interesting and enjoyable people there over the years, and have done many great canoe trips as a result.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateI've not joined the club. I just use the boat launch for canoeing in the canal. Access is usually easy unless there's an event going on. Usually ample parking. It's pretty secluded and I've seen some people of questionable reputation, so be cautious. It's popular with dog owners.
