What we’re about
For kayakers in and around the Fox Valley area .
If you are looking to get out and meet others that share your passion for kayaking and canoeing, join Fox Valley Kayakers. Together we can explore the Fox Valley area waterways. Everyone is welcome to join, no matter how much experience you have.
We encourage you to be aware of your ability when signing up for a paddle. You are responsible for your safety. You are encourage to wear a PFD and possibly a helmet.
Stewardship of our waterways is important. Do not liter, respect landowners property and clean up liter when possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, call or email the leadership team. We are happy to meet new people that share our passion. Our goal is to bring kayakers and canoers together to socialize, educate and have fun.
We welcome you to join the Fox Valley Kayakers. If you chose to do so, we request a photo and your name so that our event host can identify you. This will assist the event host and other participants when you attend the event.

- Fall Colors Paddle in the Kettle Moraine RegionNew Fane Trail Area Parking Lot, New Fane, WI
Join us for a paddle on the East Branch of the Milwaukee River from New Fane to Barton on the main Milwaukee River. This beautiful 11.4 mile section of the river begins with intimate riffles and eventually becomes mostly flatwater punctuated by some riffles.
If you are camping with us at Kettle Moraine and want to follow us to the put in, we will leave the campsite at 9:00am sharp.
Plan on about 5 total hours (at most) on the river with a stop at or near the Oak Drive landing to eat our packed lunches.
This trip is suitable for anyone with some moving water experience. Shorter boats are better, but longer boats are fine if you can back ferry and maneuver around obstacles in fast current.
If you have a spare boat to lend/rent or would like to borrow a boat, post that in the comments below.
It's possible we might have to move the location of this trip due to water levels or obstructions, so watch for updates as we get closer to the event.
