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!
