Dublin Kayak Club paddlers

Welcome

Dublin Kayak Club was established in 2024 by a group of like-minded friends all from different corners of Dublin.

Our primary training area spans from Leixlip Bridge to Strawberry Hall pub along the Strawberry Beds on the River Liffey. This stretch offers excellent conditions for all three disciplines, enabling members to develop their skills year-round.

Membership with DKC includes a Canoeing Ireland registration, access to club coaching, and the opportunity to join trips across Ireland and internationally.
