4:00 PM – 7:30 PM
HOSTED BY: Milwaukee Riverkeeper & Riveredge Nature Center
Enjoy a guided paddle on the Milwaukee River led by Riverkeeper, Cheryl Nenn, along with Riveredge Nature Center. We will begin at Hubbard Park, get shuttled up to Kletzsch Park for a brief walking tour of the fish passage and then we will paddle down the river back to Hubbard Park. We’ll discuss the history and current state of our rivers and share more about fish passage as we go.
Tickets are available for single-person, sit-inside touring kayaks from Riveredge Nature Center. Rental kayaks are limited. Tickets are also available for bringing your own kayak. If you choose to bring your own kayak, we recommend bringing a sit-inside kayak. Please do not bring inflatable and/or sit-on kayaks. To bring your own kayak, please also account for extra time to drop your boat at Kletzsch Park early, and make it to Hubbard Park in time to catch the shuttle.
