Formed in 1968 the club has a long history in the Hunter and Newcastle region, the club has had a boat shed with access to Lake Macquarie in the past and now bases itself at Teralba Bowling Club.

Hunter Valley Canoe Club Inc. (HVCC) was formed 45 years ago. During this time the sport of canoeing/kayaking has evolved and developed into many variations. Current past times include recreation, touring, marathon, sprint, white water, polo, down river racing and SUP. HVCC does and has catered for all facets of the sport over the years. In fact a HVCC Dungog to Clarence Town event broke the world record for the greatest number of competitors at the time with over 600 entrants. The club changed its name in 2015 to Hunter Valley PaddleSports Club Inc. (HVPC) to represent the needs of all people who enjoy paddling.
