For several years Canoe England has been running a Rivers Access Campaign (www.riversaccess.org) The campaign is not just for canoeists or participants of kayak fishing but it is for all members of the public who share the view that a legal right for access to and along water would provide enormous recreational, educational and economic opportunities.
A right of access will provide certainty for the future of water related sport and recreation. The campaign has gained support from many interest groups and organisations who seek more access to enjoy the natural water environment – swimmers, anglers, walkers etc.
