What we’re about

We are paddlers living along the strait (le détroit) that connects Lake Huron to Lake Erie in the heart of the Great Lakes of North America. Our members are new paddlers and veteran paddlers. We paddle kayaks, surf skis, canoes, stand up paddleboards (SUPs) and just about anything else that floats. We primarily hang out and launch from two locations: Belle Isle Beach on Belle Isle and Detroit River Sports along the east side canals. Please join our Detroit Paddle Club Facebook group. And join our community for the annual OABI Beach Fest on Belle Isle.
