Since 1956 the Canoe Cruisers Association, with members from across the Greater Washington, DC area, has brought together kayakers and canoeists interested in paddling the Potomac River Basin and adjacent watersheds. We value diversity and welcome people at all levels of ability. We coordinate paddling trips, teach classes, promote river safety, host the annual CCA downriver race, and organize river access and water conservation efforts. Please join us—we look forward to paddling with you!
