Access & Navigability
As an advocate for paddlers, ACA works to protect paddlers' access to rivers, streams, lakes and coastal waters. Paddlers face a range of access problems that can close off waterways to paddlesport use. ACA has successfully resolved access problems in the past, and is dedicated to continuing this work. Any paddler facing an access problem should contact the ACA for assistance. For more information about how the ACA can help you with an access issue, contact the ACA national office at (703) 451-0141, or send an e-mail to stewardship@americancanoe.org.
