The River Canoe Club is a long-established Sydney paddling club based on the Cooks River, serving as a key access point for recreational kayaking and canoeing in the area.

Its clubhouse serves as the primary launch site for the Cooks River Paddle Trail, a 25km network of rivers, canals and bays developed in partnership with the Cooks River Alliance and local authorities.

A dedicated canoe ramp and floating pontoon opened in May 2026, providing improved all-abilities access to the river for paddlers of all experience levels. The site is noted for its proximity to public transport and car parking.

Popular paddles from the clubhouse include routes to Lang Road Bridge (7km return), Boat Harbour (9km return) and Tasker Park (11km return), with longer excursions reaching Botany Bay, Wolli Creek and Alexandra Canal.
