Rise 'N Shine Morning Paddles in Milwaukee, WI

Rise 'n Shine Milwaukee! Start your morning with us as we enjoy a nice paddle before the city wakes up! Our goal for the morning paddles is to paddle out to Lake Michigan and then over to Discovery World, Lakeshore State Park or the Milwaukee Art Museum. We will evaluate conditions each morning and decide if we will paddle out to the Lake or stay on our rivers. Our goal is to launch from our dock shortly after 6:30am and return back to our dock by 8am.

Morning Paddles are for Season Pass Members Only because of kayaking experience on our Lake.
