The purpose of "Cumbria Canoeists" is to provide a source of information for anyone interested in canoeing in Cumbria, whether they live in the county or are planning to visit.

Through reference to local knowledge everyone should be able to get more from canoeing.

Although the website is provided through the efforts of British Canoe Union members it is aimed at all canoeists whether members or not and the intention is to enhance canoeing for any and every one.

The website aims to reflect the efforts of the Cumbria Canoeists in serving the needs and wishes of all attitudes to canoeing from the summer-picnicking-potterer to the serious-and-dedicated competitor or wild-water animal.

It hopes to cover any discipline or strand of Canoesport from surfing to sprint racing to river running to sailing canoes to sea-expeditioning .
