Community Paddles

Throughout the paddling season, Paddle Antrim hosts community paddles in in various locations out on the water trail including Ellsworth, Central Lake, Bellaire, and Elk Rapids. We invite all paddlers to get out on the water! 

 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.  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.
