Inland Northwest & Montana Canoe Club

The Inland NW Canoe Club was formed in 2023 as a 501c3 entity. Included in this club are both the Coeur d’Alene Club, as well as the Montana Canoe Club. These clubs paddle on both Lake Coeur d’Alene and Flathead Lake. 

The Montana Canoe Club paddles out of Big Arm, MT and hosts a fleet of OC6’s, 1’s and 2’s that are shared with the Silver Lining Montana all-breast cancer paddling team.These groups work hand-in-hand together, creating community around the canoe with a focus on honoring the traditions of both Native American and Hawaiian canoe culture and protecting our Mother Earth and the waters on which we paddle. We believe that by connecting communities through the shared traditions of paddling and the canoe, we can indeed foster a sense of peace and unity. And we believe that by embracing diverse cultural histories, we will continue to add richness to the tapestry of our paddling community. This summer, we are co-hosting along with ARE Outrigger Canoe and Silver Lining Montana the 5th Annual Paddle Palooza, and the ARE Sprint Challenge Montana.
