About Us
On 26th September 2014, a meeting was held and it was said "let there be friends on the River Nene". This how FOTRN's dream started..............
Our main focus is to improve the facilities along the River Nene for all users and that membership shall be open to any individual, who shares our passion for the river.
So three friends and supporters started upon a journey to achieve the not so impossible.
Seven years later and we now have 700 members.

Friends of Canoes
- Knowing where to access the river and where you can leave a car to paddle from or to are important factors when considering paddling any river.
- Some paddlers will be happy leaving a car by the side of the road or in a public car park whilst others may want the security that a commercial site can offer.
- This is a list of places I have used to get in and out of the River Nene with a canoe......there are no doubt others I don’t know!
- Following poor experiences in lockdown many landowners and villagers have become less welcoming of paddlers, walkers and drivers - where appropriate I have included places that have been lost as they may still be accessible by foot.
- Please note that the River Nene has very limited official canoe facilities and many of the sites I mention are not suitable for young children or those with limited mobility.
- Neither I nor Friends of the River Nene can accept any responsibility for any mishaps that might befall you after reading this - take care!
- What Three Words references are next to the bold titles and where helpful I have included a Google Street View link too.
