Salmon Leap Canoe Club

Salmon Leap Canoe Club sits on the River Liffey at Leixlip Reservoir, off the Celbridge Road in Leixlip, Co. Kildare.

Founded in 1961, it is one of Ireland's leading kayak racing clubs, with strengths in marathon, sprint, slalom, and wild-water racing disciplines.

The club serves as a key access point on the Liffey corridor and hosts the start of the International Liffey Descent. It also functions as a first-aid station during that race.

Paddlers training on the lake have long used the site to develop forward-paddling technique, and the club is a recognised landmark for navigation on this stretch of the river.
