Our Mission
Our main purpose is to unite persons interested in paddling and to promote the safe and responsible use of navigable waters.

About the Vikings
Louisville, KY certainly isn't a Mecca of riversports, but some folks who insist on living here do manage to find places to paddle. Our membership is made up of all types, from beginners to class V boaters. We paddle canoes, rafts, duckies and kayaks. In the winter months you will find many of us at the pool trying to nail that roll or flatwater cartwheel.

Anyone is welcome to join the club - what ever your paddling interest is, ability, or level of experience - this is a chance to meet others with common interests and similar skill levels.

Our goal is to have fun!
Organized trips are planned throughout the year with veteran members leading on a volunteer basis. An important goal of the Viking Canoe Club is to offer its members the opportunity to improve their paddling skills. Every spring the Vikings hold a clinic for novice paddlers. The Viking Canoe Club emphasizes safety and many members have taken Swift Water Rescue classes and are trained in CPR. Vikings also contribute to the conservation and access to the rivers we enjoy.

If you live in the area and have an interest in paddling, we invite you to join us. Dues are $20.00 per year (due in January). Membership dues help to support the newsletter, website, forum, conservation, access and social activities. Download a membership application from the website or come to a club meeting held on the second Monday of every month at KT's Restaurant, 2300 Lexington Road at Grinstead, 6:30 pm for food/social, 7:30 meeting.

Visitors are always welcome.
