What to Expect

Experience the Milwaukee River at its most colorful on this guided Fall Foliage paddle with Milwaukee Riverkeeper. As the leaves turn, you’ll paddle a scenic stretch of river surrounded by vibrant autumn colors while learning about the changing season and local ecosystem.

Led by a knowledgeable Riverkeeper naturalist, this relaxed, beginner-friendly outing highlights the beauty of the river corridor, with opportunities to spot wildlife and take in the crisp fall air. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how seasonal changes impact the river and the plants and animals that call it home.

This is the perfect way to slow down, connect with nature, and experience fall from a completely different perspective on the water.
