Conflicts and Canoeing

There should be no conflicts. Canoeing is Low Impact

  • It causes no pollution
  • It leaves no trace of passing
  • It is an ideal way to access the water environment
  • It gives people a better understanding of the landscape, habitats and wildlife around them
  • There is no evidence that canoeing disturbs spawning grounds or fish stocks
  • We don’t even leave footprints as we float along
The more people use rivers the more they will cherish them and want to protect them

I am due to move to Salisbury and was greatly looking forward to exploring much of the River Avon. I just cannot understand why there is a restriction on such a low-impact activity. Could anyone tell me the best places to put in nearest to Salisbury for a canadian canoe?
