Paddle Ohio

We are a casual group of kayak and canoe paddlers of all skill levels who enjoy getting out on the water and into nature.

The events will be loosely organized, fun, laid back meetings at various bodies of water throughout Ohio. Plan on meeting up, chatting a bit and doing some paddling.

People of all skill levels and ages are welcome.....whether you plan on getting a workout with an all out fitness paddle or simply cruising about the shoreline nature watching....come on out!

If you enjoy paddling rivers and streams, we now have a river and stream edition located here>>> www.meetup.com/movingwater

Be sure to visit the message board for information about additional paddling events.

Stand by for 2012!

"Hi. I've kayaked a few times and really enjoyed it. I sail up at Hoover and now it's time to start kayaking also! Since I'm a newbie I could use some advice when it comes time to buy a 'yak."
