People could be prescribed an afternoon of paddleboarding or some canal-side gardening to improve their health.
Nearly £50,000 has been given to The Thriving Communities project so patients can make use of the Nottingham and Beeston canal.
Doctors and health workers in Nottingham will be able to refer people to canal-based community projects in what is called "social prescribing".
One GP said it can "improve the quality of somebody's life".
The Canal and River Trust said groups in Nottingham would receive the money to offer people activities to "boost their physical and mental health".
