Glow SUP Night Paddleboarding with Dragonfly Paddle Yoga | Boat Tour | SUP

Located in Black Forest, Colorado, Dragonfly Paddle Yoga offers a truly distinctive nighttime adventure: the GLOW SUP evening paddleboarding experience. As daylight fades behind the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, participants take to a calm mountain lake where vivid LED-lit SUP boards transform the water into a dazzling canvas of color. This 1.5-hour journey is more than a paddle—it's a sensory immersion combining the quiet of night with a playful glow that reflects off the water's surface like fireflies in motion.

The lake itself sits amid ponderosa pines and mixed conifers characteristic of the Colorado Front Range, with the silhouettes of the surrounding mountains darkening as stars emerge overhead. The scene is marked by geological formations of ancient granite outcrops and the gentle ripple of high-altitude waters fed by seasonal snowmelt. Wildlife such as beavers and owls often add to the serene soundtrack, while the clarity of the mountain air enhances the brilliance of the board lights and the starlit sky.

Dragonfly Paddle Yoga’s GLOW SUP event stands out in the local outdoor recreation scene by combining accessible paddleboarding with a unique nocturnal twist. It welcomes participants of all skill levels (swimming ability required) without the complexity of yoga instruction during this activity. Each glowing hardboard is equipped with vibrant color LEDs, a lightweight paddle, USCG life vest, and a coiled leash, plus a knowledgeable guide ready to assist.

This experience holds a special place in the community as a low-impact, environmentally conscious way to enjoy Colorado's outdoors after dark, inviting both locals and visitors to witness the region’s natural beauty from a fresh perspective. The visual spectacle paired with peaceful watercraft movement under a canopy of stars creates lasting impressions of wonder and escape. For anyone wanting to try a new outdoor activity that blends tranquility, light, and water, Dragonfly Paddle Yoga’s Glow SUP session is an exceptional choice.
