Canoe Club

The club and its rules

The canoe and kayak club owns 8 canoes and 8 kayaks. We are currently looking into buying a few stand up paddle boards. A description of our boats can be found here: LINK
The equipment of the club is mostly used in the summertime but it’s allowed to use it all around the year – unless there is ice on the lakes. In the winter period, it is recommended to take a trip up the ”Mill River” to Frederiksdal – it’s super pretty! From September 1st to May 1st, the lake ferry doesn’t sail which means that the waters are crystal clear.
Once in a while you may be able to see fish tans in the sun, a kingfisher or maybe even a deer swimming across the river.
Life vests have to be worn between October 1st and May 1st, but it is encouraged to wear them all year. It is possible to get fines if you don’t bring the vests in the canoes/kayaks.
From April 15th to May 15th, it is the birds’ nesting season which means that it isn’t allowed to deboard on the islands in Bagsværd and Lyngby lakes.
The club is run by volunteers and spends about 10,000 kr. each year on equipment and reparations. Most of the money is spent on reparations.
It is not allowed to borrow a canoe/kayak that has not been booked!
You can read more about the nature in our area on the homepage of Lyngby canoe club: https://www.lyngby-kanoklub.dk/hvor-maa-man-ro

Treat our equipment nicely so it doensn’t break. We’d much rather spend money on new equipment than reparations.
If you see an ydamages or notice anything missing please note it on the list in the club cellar in LM or write an email to the club:
