Basingstoke Canal - (under the guardianship of the Surrey & Hampshire Canal Society): Whilst the canal is navigable again, attracting motor cruisers and narrowboats, as well as walkers, anglers, and canoeists, and supports a wide variety of wildlife, full navigation throughout the year remains restricted.

To alleviate closures, the Society is seeking to raise funds for back-pumping of the St Johns flight of locks and other measures to guarantee all-year-round navigability of the canal
