Any recomendations? I'm after a nice slow smallish river so wifey and I can try our newly aquired canoes.
I think you're aiming too high.
Start off by buying a small pond from B&Q.......
Seriously, where the fekk are you going to put a river, and how do you get it home
I've seen a few people on the Waveny near mendham bridge also beccles quay.
I've got a very big back garden!

Coltishall is quiet this time of year;the river flows slowly - and there's a good pub . . .

Most of the rivers in Lincs at the mo` are very low, so I guess the ones in Norfolk would be too.
If it is your first time though, I would do it with others, it can all go wrong very quickly!
However, if the water is very shallow, just remember the muddy bottom is very deep....Deep mud can snap legs!
I know I didn`t, but it doesn`t matter now.....All in the past.

I was going to suggest here
Its where the scouts put in ( if that's the term for it ) behind the power station. Should be nice and quiet this time of year , theres even a ramp to slide the canoe down into water
Disclaimer , its a few years since ive been.
That's nice and close too. I'll have a looky down there. Ta.
If you are in kayaks rather than open canoes I suggest that you go to a club meeting first, usually held through the winter at swimming pools. Learn how to get out or better still get back up in the event of a capsize.
I took my son to a local club when he took up kayaking. Having been upside down with the boat trapped under a fallen tree on the River Spey myself I though that I'd rather he knew what he was doing

There is also a launch spot at the St helens picnic site, off the Munford Rd.
,what could possibly go wrong
I hear the the river yare around Yarmouth it's quite good at the moment
Might give that a swerve at the moment!
Wroxham or that lake near Norwich railway station.
Put in at Wayford bridge. ( another good food pub 
)
Head 'up' the river a few hundred yards. At the fork take the one to the right. Signed up for no access to motorised craft.
It's a nice small stretch. Never too much tide either.
It's an easy days cruise to Honing lock and back.

Bridge is on the right. The little stretch I'm on about is the one heading up to the top of the pic
