Paddle the Basingstoke Canal at Crookham Village


All abilities

Canoeing

Kayaking

Paddle Boarding
Take a gentle paddle along the Basingstoke Canal as it meanders it's way through Hampshire. Starting just next to the Exchequer pub, with good parking and easy access to the water, either head West towards Winchfield and Odiham, or East towards Fleet.

You need a canal license to use the canal, either from the Basingstoke Canal Authority or British Canoeing membership.

No restrictions on dogs but clearly you take dogs with you at your own risk (and theirs).

There is a country pub next to the car park.

No designated toilets but the pub next to the car park will probably be accommodating if you ask nicely.

No camping options nearby.
