Welcome to the Derwent Canoe Club (DCC) and all things paddling in Southern Tasmania.

Getting started – Are you a beginner wanting to learn to paddle ? Here are some options:

  • Paddling, Pals and Pizza – A social paddling group for members to meet others in the club, learn paddling skills, play games, make friends and chat over a meal afterwards. Look for it over summer on the events section of our Facebook page.
  • Southern “Under 3” river trips – river trips run by experienced club members on grade 1 or 2 rivers for novice paddlers progressing into the art of paddling on moving water.
  • Canoe Tasmania – Education – Accredited courses run by Canoe Tasmania to learn paddling skills.
  • Paddle Power – A great junior development program for slalom (adults also welcome).

Competitions

  • Ocean Ski Racing – run in conjunction with Next Level Kayaking.
  • Canoe Polo – Autumn A & B Roster and a Schools roster on from there.
  • Simple Slalom – Monthly competitions held at Broken Bridge during summer which are open to everyone.
