Best Answer

the great thing is NO. but it is HIGHLY recommended to be a member of the BCU (british canoe union) this covers you for public liability insurance etc. its also a good idea to become a member of a club

many rivers have "agreements" on them, you may only be able to paddle at certain times of the year etc, check out ukriversguidebook.com for more info.

According to the Canoe England website

"If you enjoy canoeing on rivers and canals you will need a boat licence to do so".

You can join Canoe England your membership covers you for most waterways and includes insurance. Costs about £38 per year. See their web site:

Do you need a license to canoe on canals?

In the United States, there are many canals where canoeing or kayaking is allowed and you don't need a license to do so. You can canoe the New York State canal system, the Erie Canal and the Delaware and Raritan canals. Apparently in Great Britain, you need a license. Another answer: No, but it is against the law to use canals as waterways. They can be cold, fast, have debris, and are used to water crops not to swim or boat in.
