Canoeing club at Northern Virginia????

Good morning everyone!

Is there any canoeing club at Northern Virginia? I am planning on buying a canoe in the next two months and will need some information regarding how to choose an entry-level canoe. Also, will probably need recommendations on good places to paddle it.

I will be using it for 'leisure paddling', family camping, and bass fishing.

Thanks a lot in advance.

They meet in Washington D.C. and are a very large and active club.

Appomatox River Company has many canoes and kayaks. Also Potomac Paddle Sports has a fairly good selection as well. You also might want to try Harper's Ferry Rafting Company.
