The 2012 Moonlight Paddle again follows the path of the 2006 and
2010 Tall Ships Paddles as an evening paddle. We will launch from
Bomier Park in the City of De Pere, pass through the De Pere Lock
and paddle through the City of De Pere, Village of Allouez and City
of Green Bay as dusk falls! In the past, more than 100 canoes,
kayaks and stand-up-boards traveling together down the river
present an unusual sight to fishermen and other users of the Fox
River Trail.

boat, at Bomier Park. We will maintain our event registration fee
of $10 per paddler age 16 and over, but will gladly accept
additional donations to help cover the cost of the pre-paddle
shuttle bus (about $100) and the Bomier Park launch fee.
- LIGHT - Remember to bring a white light that
you can display in the presence of moving boat traffic while you
paddle. This can be headlamp, a light mounted on your boat or a
handheld light that is visible for at least 300 feet.
