Event Description
Unwind at the end of the day with a peaceful evening paddle on the Milwaukee River. This beginner friendly canoe trip departs from Riverside Park Urban Ecology Center, an ideal location for paddlers building confidence on moving water. As the sun sets, enjoy the calm river, changing colors of the evening sky, and the unique perspective of Milwaukee from the water.
Canoeing requires flexibility to get in and out of the vessel, upper body and core strength, and a fair amount of balance. Our staff are happy to assist with launching and exiting your canoe. Lifeguard certified staff will guide this relaxing sunset adventure and provide basic paddling instruction along the way. Pre-registration is required.
