Kayak Cleanup and Beer Garden Social
Description:
Join Forward Outdoor and the Friends of Lakeshore State Park for a community cleanup at the Dock at Discovery World. We’ll help put the finishing touches on Milwaukee’s Lakeshore Inlet ahead of the USA Triathlon National Championships.
The swim portion of the race will take place in the protected waters between Discovery World, Summerfest, and Lakeshore State Park, with athletes starting from the Dock at Discovery World. Milwaukee recently joined the Swimmable Cities Alliance, and this inlet is a good example of one of our Lakefront aras that is already clean and swimmable. Like any urban waterfront, however, litter can accumulate over time. This is an opportunity to help showcase Milwaukee at its very best before welcoming athletes from across the country.
After the cleanup, everyone is invited to continue the evening at the War Memorial Beer Garden for a casual summer social by the lake.
What’s included:
– Basic instruction for every participant
– Properly fitted life jacket for each guest
– Assistance getting in and out of boats as needed
– Gloves, trash grabbers and bags courtesy of Milwaukee Riverkeeper
