Making life better by water
Linking the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation with the River Trent, the Stainforth & Keadby Canal offers a pleasant cruise through quiet countryside.
Today, boaters find that rural surroundings and a combination of swing and lift bridges add interest to their very straight voyage across country. You're guaranteed to meet an angler or two on your travels – several stretches of the Stainforth & Keadby Canal are popular coarse fisheries.
The Stainforth & Keadby Canal is now often thought of as part of the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation.
