The Brownhills Canoe & Outdoor Centre slipway sits on the Wyrley and Essington Canal in Brownhills (WS8 6DZ) and serves as the launch point for the popular Brownhills to Sneyd canoe trail.

Paddlers enter the canal directly from the slipway and head right to begin the route. The trail covers 8. 5 miles of lock-free paddling, making it an accessible and uninterrupted journey along the Wyrley and Essington Canal.

The route passes under numerous bridges, skirts Pelsall Common, and reaches Birchills Junction before finishing at Sneyd Wharf, where paddlers exit via a stub of an old canal arm.
