Welcome

The Peterborough Rowing Club (PRC) is located on the stunning Otonabee River, one of the best spots for rowing in Canada. We are proud to introduce people to the sport of rowing through our series of Learn-to-Row programs and camps, and are committed to doing everything possible to allow our members to continue to enjoy the sport for many years to come. The PRC invites ANYONE with an interest to come out and take advantage of these activities in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Rowing is a beautiful sport; nothing compares to being on the water – a great source of exercise - while watching a classic Ontario sunset! Scenes along our 6km course include Trent University, pristine nature trails, and Canada's highest lift lock. With well-established recreational and competitive rowing programs, current equipment and new docks (not to forget a great community!) the PRC is the perfect place to develop a new love with one of the most popular summer activities in North America.

Don't miss the boat!
