This September, we host the Paddle Antrim Festival—but our work goes far beyond the event.

Paddle Antrim is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the Chain of Lakes Water Trail. With your support, we:

  • Improve and expand paddling access so more people can explore our waterways safely and confidently.
  • Offer education on paddling safety and environmental stewardship to promote responsible recreation.
  • Champion inclusive, community-driven outdoor experiences that connect people to the water—and to each other.

Special $10,000 Match Opportunity

Longtime Paddle Antrim Festival volunteers and supporters are offering a generous challenge:

All donations made in September will be matched—up to $10,000.

That means every dollar you give this month will go twice as far to support healthy lakes and rivers, inclusive nonmotorized access, and lifelong connections to our waterways.
