​Canoe2 have linked up with The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire in an exciting partnership giving you the chance to experience nature on the River Nene in a very different way.

The partnership provides two unique opportunities to combine a relaxing paddle along the river with unique insights into the local nature from Wildlife Trust experts:

​2018 Dawn Chorus Early Morning River Paddle.

Saturdays, April 14th, 21st and 28th - 6.15am start

Arrive at Rushden Lakes for 6.15am, and before you leave for your canoe trip you will be taken on a Dawn Chorus walk around the nature reserve with Wildlife Trust experts helping you identify birds along the way through their early morning calls. Then, set off on your magical early morning paddle across the lake to the river, ending back at The Boathouse around 10.00am

​2-Person Canoe = £55

3-Person Canoe = £70

4-Person Canoe = £75 (suitable for 2 adults with 2 children aged 5 to 10 yrs)

2018 Evening River Paddle and Bat Spotting Walk.

Fridays, August 24th and 31st, and September 7th - 5.30pm start

​Canoes will depart Canoe2’s base at Rushden Lakes. After a peaceful early evening paddle on the River Nene you will be met back at Rushden Lakes by your Wildlife Trust experts just as the bats are starting to come out. You’ll then be taken on a guided walk of the Nature Reserve as dusk settles. Everyone will have the opportunity to use a bat detector which picks up the ultrasonic frequencies used by bats as they hunt. The event will finish by 9.45pm

​2-Person Canoe = £55

3-Person Canoe = £70

4-Person Canoe = £75 (suitable for 2 adults with 2 children aged 5 to 10 yrs)

​Please note that, as per all Canoe2 canoe hire trips, you will receive a full Safety Briefing and Paddle Demonstration before setting off in your canoe, so you will be well prepared. Canoe Trips are not escorted on the river.

Canoe2 will be donating 50% of ticket sales from these events to The Wildlife Trust

​Availability is very limited, so please do be sure to book soon for 2018.

​To book, or order Gift Vouchers, please contact Canoe2 on 01933 522 223 or email info@canoe2.co.uk

We are incredibly pleased and excited to be partnering with The Wildlife Trust again in 2018. As a corporate member of the trust we look forward to further supporting their valuable work caring for some of our customers’ best loved stretches of river
