Join us for the 8th Annual Gravel Bottom Paddlefest - a day to enjoy the Grand River and craft beer!
The paddle starts at the Grand River Riverfront Park in Lowell and ends at the Fulton Street DNR boat launch in Ada with an average time on the water of 2-3 hours. A team from Bill & Paul's Sporthaus will assist paddlers with the launching and landing of kayaks as well as loading them onto your vehicle or trailer. A shuttle will be available to transport drivers to retrieve their vehicles at the Grand River Riverfront Park and drop off paddlers at Gravel Bottom Craft Brewery to continue the fun. A portion of the ticket price will be donated to LGROW (Lower Grand River Organization of Riversheds) to protect and preserve our local waterway. Kayaks not included, but are available to rent from Bill & Paul's Sporthaus. Rental information is included below.
