Description

Two options :

1. Full descent (12 km):

We strongly supervise the supervision of the Beaurainvillois Canoe/Kayak Club for this route. The Hesdin crossing features some passages for experienced kayakers only, depending on the height of the water.

You will cross the city of Charles V, with its seven bridges and its rich historical heritage: church, fish market, Abbé Prévost's house and old breweries. Panels offer information throughout the crossing of the town.

2. Guisy–Beaurainville Descent (8.5 km):

Accessible independently from the Bouin-Plumoison pier, this course offers a green setting punctuated by whirlpools to offer a good dose of adrenaline. This portion is also equipped with various educational panels to raise users' awareness and increase respect for biodiversity.

Boat rental possible from the club.

Recommandations

The river is a shared space. Please respect the recommendations of the French Canoe and Kayak Federation and the National Federation of Fishing in France:

Respect sailing or fishing conditions and times (contact the Beaurainvillois CK Club)

Use the embarkation and disembarkation areas provided for this purpose

Be prepared for meetings between fishers and kayakers:

- fishers must bring their lines back to the bank

- kayakers must pass by seeking to avoid excessive downtime

- communicate with friendly signals: a simple "hello" can change everything!

Do not cross private property (unless authorised), croplands or grasslands

Practise your activity with mutual respect for other users and local residents

Practice your activity in compliance with legislation and with respect for aquatic biodiversity

Do not litter (paper, cans, plastic packaging, hooks, metal lures and nylon threads)

Do not throw anything in the water

Shrubs or any other riparian vegetation must be respected and must not be cut or clipped if they interfere with your activity

Important to remember:

Water and Aquatic Environment Act (French LEMA Law) – Art. 1: "Water is part of the nation's common heritage. Its protection, enhancement and the development of its usable resources, in respect for natural balance, are of public interest. The use of water belongs to everyone."
