The characteristics of the Hockanum River are such that canoeists and kayakers can be found enjoying it during most seasons of the year.

In addition the New England Canoe & Kayak Racing Association (NECKRA) sponsors a series of canoe and kayak races throughout the year, including a race along the Hockanum River in early April each year.

This race begins at the Quality Inn parking lot at Route 83 Tolland Turnpike at the Vernon/Manchester town line, and finishes at the shopping plaza next to McDonald's at 1227 Burnside Avenue (Route 44) in East Hartford.
