Won’t you join us?
Come, help us keep the Boyne flowing
We reach out
to the community by improving the recreational value of the river, both summer and winter as well as including schools, community groups, businesses and governments in our projects and events.
We do water
We have Fun
We believe that people will respect and honor the river if they use it to have fun and discover their flow.
Our slow moving, meandering waterway is ideal for kayaking, canoeing, fishing in summer as well as skating, cross country skiing, and walking in the winter.
We organize activities to fundraise and highlight the rivers recreational value.
