    Canoeing on the River Dart Canoeing on the River Dart This document has been written by the Dart Fisheries Association (DFA) for Canoeing on the Dart. Even though British Canoeing has been involved in discussions the information below has NOT been endorsed by British Canoeing as it does not fulfil the criteria outlined in the British Canoeing Access Position Statement for the Shared use of Unregulated Water.

It outlines how the varying interests on the river can work together harmoniously. Aim: The aim of this arrangement is to enable canoeing to take place on the River Dart, as set out below, without confrontation or challenge, and without prejudice to the views on the legalities of river access of either British Canoeing or riparian owners.

  • Ashburton Description Holne Weir Which Must Be Taken with Extreme Caution at Medium and High Flows As the Stopper and Towback Are Fierce
    Ingress: Holne Weir (SX733705) either BCU land between Lent Hill and Holne bridge, look for small lay-by, don’t use gate, walk a further 100m up road towards bridge to 2nd gate/gap in hedge that takes you through the woods to Holne weir or RDCP (£5 fee) Egress: Dart Valley Railway and Butterfly Farm at Buckfastleigh– follow the brown signs! (SX745667). Beware of 8 foot high bridge, most vans with kayaks on the roof won’t fit!. Approx Length: 3.7 miles. Time Needed: 1 ½ - 3 hours P Out of fishing season: 1st Oct to 14th March . Grade: Grade 2 Levels: Ukriversguidebook twitter! Web-cam at RDCP EA Austins Bridge Ashburton Description Holne weir which must be taken with extreme caution at medium and high flows as the stopper and towback are fierce. Under these conditions it is best shot on the extreme left or we’ll put in below it. 2011 fence in water on R-left of weir. Another tiny weir follows shortly afterwards; this has been developed into a play-hole by RDCP. It can be quite lively for beginners (and others) After Waterworks Bridge (access road to RDCP), there are some one-off Grade 2 rapids to enjoy, the most notable being where the river funnels right past a small ledge, and where it drops steeply through waves and stoppers to the left of a big island. Eventually you see Buckfastleigh Abbey come into view on river right and Furzleigh Weir. Get out on river left above this huge weir. You have the choice of a long slide (with reinforcing rods poking up) or a series of awkward steps down a fish-pass (dangerous undercut) or a portage on left, which is probably what you'll want to do in anything other than low levels.
