Informal Group Paddle Information

In addition to formal NEWP classes and events, several groups of paddlers around northeast Wisconsin enjoy social paddles on a weekly basis. Here are a list of some that we were aware of in last year's paddle season and believe will continue in the 2012 season. Please contact us with corrections or if you are aware of others that you would like listed here to share with your friends.

The times shown here are launch times so please be sure to arrive early enough to unload and be prepared to paddle by the time shown. These outings tend to extend through the paddle season, and are of course entirely weather dependent. Again, we depend on you to let us know of any errors or changes in this information!
