Dundalk Kayak Club was formed in 2005 to provide paddlers in the area around Dundalk a variety of canoeing and kayaking activities. DKC now has members in Co. Louth and beyond.

The Club has a number of BCU & ICU qualified coaches able to provide both canoe and kayak training. The Club also has boats and equipment available for hire.

Whilst the club is all about having fun on the water we put a great deal of emphasis on safety and training. This allows new paddlers to develop skills at their own pace within a safe environment.

What does the Club do?

The Club is primarily a white water & touring club. A typical trip on a local river would be around eight miles. However, as you will see below our trips cover a wide range of recreational paddling.

Throughout the year we paddle local rivers like the Boyne, Blackwater, Bann and Avonmore (Annamoe) also Lough Muckno and Gyles Quay. Four or five times a year we organise weekend trips, either camping or staying in budget accommodation.

Trips in the last few years have included, white water paddling in France and North Wales.

Other activities are also arranged such a training days, taking part in ICU events, open canoeing, surf kayaking and so on.

The club also provides rescue cover for tri-athlons and other water based competitions.

Keeping Members Informed

The club sends out weekly text messages to let everyone know about times and rivers for up coming trips.

The Bulletin Board is regularly updated by trip organisers, to keep members informed of what's going on.
The Club is run by an elected committee in accordance with a written constitution, ICU rules and guidelines. This ensures members safety, development and enjoyment.

You will find our member's enthusiasm is infectious! There's no better way to enjoy the sport than developing your skills in the company of keen fellow paddlers. We pride ourselves on being a very friendly and sociable club.
