 ABOUT THE EVENT:

For first-time paddlers, Cleveland Metroparks Outdoor Recreation will offer kayak/canoe lessons with lifejacket/PFD that are open to all (at least age 8 and weigh between 50 -275 lbs.). This is a good opportunity to learn the basics of paddling while enjoying some quality time on the lake.

Registration will open July 14th!

For canoe, kayak and paddle board owners, non-motorized watercraft is encouraged to bring them to the event and launch from the shore at no cost. Those bringing their own watercraft must ensure that all members of their party have life jackets and that all children have adult supervision on the lake. Public boat launch is located at the launch nearest to Brook Rd. on the Shaker Heights side.

In addition to boating, the event will include some fun onshore activities

More details to come!
