River Dart

The tidal Dart between Totnes and Dartmouth is one of the most beautiful navigable rivers in the country, while its upper freshwater reaches offer excellent white water canoeing from October to January inclusive. A pictorial tour of the tidal Dart is available on the Dart Harbour website, click Harbour and River Guide >Sailing Directions. A favourite starting point for Canoe Adventure's trips is the sheltered water of Bow Creek at Tuckenhay, another is Longmarsh Slip in Totnes. Further "ports of call" include Dittisham, Stoke Gabriel and Dartmouth. Many other stopping points are available - accessible only from the water.

Embarkation

Outings go from and return to the slipway by The Maltsters Arms on Bow Creek at Tuckenhay.
