Lake Wendouree hosted the canoeing events when the 1956 Summer Olympics were in Melbourne.
The Eiskanal in Augsburg hosted the canoe slalom for the 1972 Summer Olympics held in neighboring Munich.
Lake Lanier in 2010. For the 1996 Summer Olympics in neighboring Atlanta, the venue hosted the canoe sprint events.

For the Summer Olympics there are 26 venues that have been or will be used in canoeing. Initially set for canoe sprint (flatwater racing until November 2008), canoe slalom (slalom racing until November 2008) was first added at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. Dropped after those games, canoe slalom was reinstituted at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Usually, the rowing events have been held in the same venues as canoe sprint, the exceptions being 1952, 1964 and 1992.
