Wednesday Short Group Paddle (Beach 75th St.) 2025

Our "Short Group Paddles" are perfect for new paddlers as a way to learn the basic skills of paddling, but are also fun for more advanced paddlers who would like to get out on the water alongside some of our volunteer paddle leaders. We will mostly stay in the basin, but the volunteer paddle leaders are able to take groups outside of the basin to explore a bit more of the shoreline based on the abilities of the group. There’s plenty of wildlife to see (shore birds, turtles, jelly fish and more) even close to the boathouse.

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with our General Rules & Regulations for all attendees!

We have a number of single seat and double seat kayaks. The registration process helps us prepare for how many paddlers to expect on a given day so that we can try to have an adequate number of boats, paddles, life jackets & Volunteer Paddle Leaders on hand.

Our Volunteer Paddle Leader's will try to accommodate all requests for attendees who want to have a "single" kayak to themself and for attendees who would like to have a "double" kayak together, but due to the limited number of boats that we have on hand and the popularity of some of our events we cannot guarantee your seating requests will be able to be accommodated.

Please bring water shoes, water safe clothes, sunscreen, a hat and lots of water.

Reminder - We are a volunteer run non-profit! We tend to get very busy on days with great weather, so please also bring some patience along with your water and sunscreen.

Volunteer Paddle Leaders Discretion

The Volunteer Paddle Leader(s) running an event are focused on safety first and have complete discretion as to who meets or doesn't meet these guidelines. Volunteers on-site make all the decisions and they are final.
