Waves & Witches Paddle

Grab your broomstick (AKA paddle), your favorite witches hat or costume and join us for a wickedly fun afternoon on our rivers. We'll be paddling alongside the Funktoon as a live band guides us on our (non-)spooky journey on the Milwaukee River, Downtown Milwaukee.

Bring your witchy spirit, decorate you and your kayak, canoe or paddleboard and get ready to make some wickedly good memories on our rivers.

*If launching your own watercraft, please use a public dock and meet us in the river at the end of our dock by 12:30pm or along the paddle route anytime. Everyone is welcome and the "launch your own" fee will be a donation to Milwaukee Riverkeeper. A list of public docks are on our blog.

*We do not want to separate a paddler who is renting from us and their partner who may be launching their own. In this case, please let us know after you make your reservation online that you will be launching with someone who will be launching their own and we will make a note and accommodations for them here, thanks!

*Rental fee - this event is a fundraiser for Milwaukee Riverkeeper. $20 of each rental will be donated back to Milwaukee Riverkeeper.
