Cambridge University Canoe Club (CUCC) is based on the River Cam just upstream from Newnham, on the stretch above the Mill Pond that is popular with canoeists and kayakers year-round.

The club serves University of Cambridge students and offers access to one of the most scenic and historically rich paddling corridors in England, passing close to some of the university's most famous colleges.

The club provides a base for both recreational paddling on the Cam and more adventurous whitewater trips further afield. It maintains its own site on the river, which it continues to develop with the support of charitable donations.
