White water kayaking combines technical paddling, quick thinking and plenty of adventure. From learning how to control your kayak in gentle flowing water to navigating rapids and more challenging river environments, it’s an exciting way to build confidence and develop your paddling skills.
At Stirling & Falkirk Canoe Club, our white water paddlers enjoy access to some of Scotland’s best rivers, with opportunities suitable for developing paddlers as well as more experienced club members.
White water sessions and trips can include:
Trips are organised according to river levels, weather conditions and the experience of those attending.

New paddlers can begin by developing their confidence and core skills before progressing onto moving water.
The club provides opportunities to learn from experienced paddlers, take part in organised sessions and build experience at a pace that suits you.
As you progress, you can develop your river-running skills, improve your decision-making and work towards recognised paddlesport awards and qualifications.
