Paddle Trails Canoe Club exists to make paddling welcoming, sustainable, and fun for people at every stage of their journey.
Based in the Puget Sound region of the Pacific Northwest, we paddle canoes, kayaks, and inflatables on rivers, lakes, and salt water. While we welcome all types of paddlers, our instructional courses focus on canoeing — supporting both new and experienced canoeists in building skills, confidence, and good judgment on the water.
Our trips and classes emphasize safety, learning, and enjoyment, without pressure to paddle harder, faster, or beyond what feels right. PTCC is a supportive, inclusive, all-volunteer community where paddlers grow at their own pace and form lasting friendships.
We paddle for scenery, wilderness, curiosity, and the simple joy of being on the water — and yes, we’re probably paddling something right now.
We invite you to take a few minutes to explore our site and past issue of Canews, our newsletter. If you like what you see, please join us. We always welcome new members.

Paddle Trails Canoe Club is one of the best paddling-focused organizations in the Pacific Northwest. The reason is because of its members, many of whom volunteer a bit of time to help out with the programs, events, trips, and classes we offer to our members. Check out how to get involved, here!
