Welcome to the Nelson Paddling Club!
We are celebrating our 31st year so come join us for a summer of paddling fun on beautiful Kootenay Lake!
The Nelson Paddling Club was founded in 1991. Since then it has been a steady presence for the Kootenay Lake communities. NPC is located at Lakeside Park, offering classes, outings, and boat storage. NPC strives to provide an inclusive, safe, and welcoming space for everyone to participate in paddling sports and physical activity regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We welcome individuals with physical disabilities and strive to adapt programming to individual athletes needs.
