Ohio Paddlers – Anniversary Celebration and Meet and Greet!

Ohio Paddlers – Anniversary Celebration (Now with Location!) Mark your calendars, Ohio Paddlers—it's time to celebrate another incredible year of paddling adventures, fellowship, and making memories on the water!

Save the Date & Join Us in Person! We're gathering in the Event Room at Bennett's Publical Family Sports Grill 67 S Main St, Miamisburg, OH 45342 (Historic downtown Miamisburg—plenty of parking, great vibes, expansive menu with scratch kitchen favorites, cold drafts, and tons of TVs for any game-day energy!)
This is your official spot to reconnect with old friends, meet the "old timers" who've been paddling with us since day one, and welcome brand-new faces to the crew. Whether you're a seasoned river rat or someone who's just discovered the joy of a paddle, you're invited—no experience required, just bring your enthusiasm!

A Little Trivia to Get You Pumped Did you know? Ohio Paddlers was born on March 13, 2014, while Kenny was on vacation in Florida? He saw the need for an inclusive Ohio paddling group open to any kind of adventure—rivers, lakes, floats, overnights, you name it—with the simple goal of getting folks outside to enjoy nature and great company. Look how far we've come! Let's toast to that origin story and keep the momentum going.

What to Expect

• A fun, purely social evening full of good food, cold drinks, laughter, and epic stories from past trips
• Presentation of upcoming 2026 adventures—relaxing floats, challenging whitewater, multi-day expeditions, and everything in between
• Brainstorming session where ideas spark and future trips start taking shape
• Presentation on Cold Water Paddling Safety
• Plenty of time to mingle, meet new paddling buddies, and connect with the community that's grown so strong over the years

Let's Make It Epic—Bring Friends! Don't paddle solo on this one—invite your paddling partners, curious friends, family members, or anyone who's ever said, "I've always wanted to try kayaking/canoeing/SUP!" The more the merrier—we're aiming for our biggest gathering yet to show just how awesome this community is.
Full details on time and any extras coming soon, but lock this in now:
