Paddles Up Niagara

We do the fun paddle which is usually at 10:00 but you can do whatever one you want. If you arrive at the park before 9:00am, you don’t have to pay.

This FREE, family-friendly event offers a unique opportunity to experience the river’s natural areas and habitats through a relaxed, guided paddling adventure. Whether you're a first-time paddler or an experienced kayaker, you'll enjoy a welcoming community on the water with support from trained guides and safety paddlers throughout the event.

🌿 Event Highlights Include:
• Guided fun paddles on the Niagara River
• Eco-tours and guided hikes
• Learn-to-kayak opportunities
• Free fishing clinic
• Environmental exhibitors, vendors & local organizations
• Food, drinks, and community celebration
• Raffles, giveaways, and prizes

After your paddle, stick around and explore exhibits highlighting local waterways, conservation efforts, and outdoor recreation opportunities across the region. It’s a great chance to connect with partners working to protect and celebrate the Niagara River and surrounding greenspaces.

This event is designed to be safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all ages. All necessary safety support will be provided on the water.
