2026 Season Kick-off Community Paddle

10:00 – 11:30 am – Community Paddle | Elk Rapids Rotary Park 

Grab your paddleboard, kayak or paddle craft of choice and join Paddle Antrim for an amazing evening paddle on the Elk River to celebrate the begining of the 2026 paddling season.

This slow paddle will begin at Elk Rapid’s Rotary Park at 10:00 am – please arrive a few minutes early to allow time to unload your paddle craft and park. We will launch as a group and paddle out and back – returning at 11:30 am.  

Paddle Antrim encourage all ages and types of paddle crafts to join us on the water for these slow paddles. These paddles last approximately one hour on the water, are free, and no pre-registration is required but we do encourage you to RSVP.

All paddlers must bring their own craft/boat, paddle, and pfd (life jacket). As with all Paddle Antrim events, pfds must be properly worn at all times. All ages are welcome but children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult out on the water.

All paddlers must complete a paddling event waiver prior to participation. Waivers can be viewed and signed digitally HERE
