Events Description
Join Paddle KC Paddling Club (www.paddlekc.com) and Kansas City area paddlers to learn how to SAFELY and COMFORTABLY extend your kayaking, paddleboarding and canoeing through cold water seasons (fall, winter, and spring). Learn required and recommended gear and skills to keep you comfortable and safe, and avoid all-too-common bad advice that wastes your money and can put you and paddling friends in danger. Enjoy dinner and drinks during the presentation.
Here’s What to Expect:
- Hear about the pros – and cons – of fall, winter and spring paddling to decide if it’s really something you want to do. It’s wonderful when done right, but it’s not for everyone.
- Learn critical safety considerations, gear, and skills for cold water paddling (fall through late spring).
- See required and recommended clothing, gear and accessories with pros and cons of each. We’ll show examples we love and some that are a waste of money, and possibly dangerous.
- Meet other local kayakers, paddleboarders and canoeists.
- Raffle drawing for paddling-related goodies!
- Hear about upcoming fall and winter paddling activities in the Kansas City area, plus trips.
- Make the most of your visit
River House is the bridge’s full-service dining experience, featuring a Midwest Lake House × Coastal Smokehouse menu, cocktails, and scenic river views beginning at 3 PM daily.
Rock Island Eats opens at 11 AM with a more casual walk-up menu of comfort food favorites and quick bites perfect for enjoying while exploring the bridge.
