A canoe is a small boat with two pointed ends. By kneeling or sitting in an open or closed deck canoe, the athlete moves the canoe using a single bladed paddle. It can be done with one person or with two or more people. Canoes, which are mostly driven by muscle power using oars, can also be used with sails or various engines.
It was in the 1860s that canoes, which were first used by local tribes as a means of transportation, became a sport. John McGregor, a Scottish lawyer, athlete, traveler, and philanthropist, designed a variety of canoes with decks and sails, and founded the first canoe club in 1873 (the British Royal Canoe Club). By 1924, canoeing was recognized as an Olympic sport for the first time, and competitions were held at the Olympic Games in Paris that year.
Today, canoeing is done in different ways such as sprint canoe, river canoe (canoe slalom), marathon canoe and freestyle canoe. Competitions are generally held in stillwater canoe, river canoe and marathon canoe branches.
Although canoeing may seem like a calming and peaceful activity, it can be performed as a high-tempo, adrenaline-filled, exciting nature sport, depending on preference. Almost every city by the river, lake or sea has canoe clubs and canoeing events. There are many locations where canoeing can be done in Turkey. Canoeing is actively practiced in 18 provinces in our country. It is possible to canoe in the provinces of Antalya, Muğla, Rize, Trabzon, Sakarya, Kocaeli, Istanbul, Erzincan, Erzurum and Van. In addition, Kayseri Zamantı River, Artvin Çoruh River and Fırtına Creek in Rize are suitable spots for canoeing during the summer months.
