Take to the rivers and lakes! Canoeing and kayaking are accessible sports for paddlers with disabilities too. Seating is the first priority to ensure paddlers are positioned correctly and safely before hitting the water of course.

From wheelchair users with quadriplegia to amputee paddlers, there are many adaptive options to accommodate different disabilities in the canoe or kayak, and the paddles too. Para-canoeing made its Paralympic debut at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games but it's a sport the whole family can enjoy together. For more information visit Abilities in Motion and Canoe Kayak Canada.
