USE OF INFORMATION

No part of this site may be copied in any way without explicit permission from the WCA.

Please use this information source as it is intended - a bare information resource to aid with planning your paddling. Check the local access position before you paddle. Use the information here as a description of what other people have experienced: do not treat it as a definitive guide. Inspect waters before you paddle them and revise your plans according to the prevailing conditions. Remember the decision to go afloat rests with you, the paddler.

DISCLAIMER

The descriptions in the river guide are based upon the situation found at time of paddling. WCA and Chris Sladden make no claim whatsoever that the rivers/waters described are safe in all or any conditions, or that the rivers/waters are suitable or safe for every canoeist.

The information on tides, weather, and surf comes from sources that are independent of the WCA. We cannot guarantee, and accept no responsibility for, the accuracy of their information and content.

This river guide and this website should not be taken as advice to trespass. The WCA and Chris Sladden do not give permission for canoeists to use private waters and the existence of this guide does not confer permission. If you are considering paddling on rivers, lakes or other waters without an access agreement, navigation right, or other permissive right, you must obtain the permission of the landowners in advance and use public rights of way to get to and from the water.

The decision to paddle must be yours alone - if you are not sure, don’t paddle! WCA and Chris Sladden disclaim all responsibility for any injury or harassment caused to persons or property in this potentially dangerous sport.
