The Canoe Cruisers Association of Greater Washington, DC, founded in 1956, has members from Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia and other nearby regions. We are a kayak and canoe club whose main purpose is to unite persons interested in paddling the Potomac River Basin and adjacent watersheds. We teach classes, promote river safety, and participate in river access and watershed conservation efforts.

CCA and the Coronavirus
On March 30th, the governors of Maryland and Virginia, and the mayor of Washington, DC, issued stay at home orders due to the spread of the deadly coronavirus COVID-19. CCA plans to comply fully with the directive and will plan no Club paddling trips or other gatherings until the danger has passed. The Club will keep all communication lines open with the webpage, email, the Cruiser and the Roster.
