Lake Day + Picnic

Paddle & Picnic at Lake Junaluska

Join Artemis Rising Collective for a relaxing day on the water as we gather for a community paddle and picnic at beautiful Lake Junaluska.

We'll meet at White Labs Brewing at 10:00 AM and caravan to the lake together before launching for a leisurely paddle. Whether you prefer a kayak, paddleboard, or another personal watercraft, this event is an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, connect with others, and spend a summer day exploring one of the area's most scenic lakes.

After our time on the water, we'll gather lakeside for a casual picnic, conversation, and lawn games. Bring a lunch, snacks, or something to share if you'd like. This event is designed to be low-key, welcoming, and accessible to both experienced paddlers and those newer to the sport.

What to Expect
• A relaxed paddle and play on Lake Junaluska
• Optional walk around the lake.
• A casual lakeside picnic and lawn games!
• Opportunities for conversation, community, and new friendships
• A fun and refreshing way to spend a day outdoors
