Kayaking the Milwaukee River in Newburg

May 5 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

Kayaking the Milwaukee River in Newburg

Join us on a beautiful 6 mile paddle down the Milwaukee River to see Riveredge from a new perspective – on the water! Look out for wildlife, such as deer, eagles, and herons, as we meander through one of the most beautiful segments of the Milwaukee River. Recommended for beginners with some experience or those with a sense of adventure. We’ll provide kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and instruction. Don’t forget your sunscreen, hat, water, and enthusiasm. We will use single person kayaks. If the river’s water levels are low, we will do an alternative downriver trip in Thiensville.

Ages 10+ | Children must be accompanied by an adult

Members: $45 | Non-members: $55

Pre-registration required by May 4 at 12:00 pm (noon).
