Weekly Workout Paddle on the Lower Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie!

Starting late October, our Weekly Workout Paddle will be back on the Lower Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie!

This is the perfect time to gear up for the cold season—if you don't have a dry suit yet, now is a great time to buy one. Winter kayaking has its perks: calm waters, crisp air, and often the entire river or lake to ourselves.

Join me for a Workout Paddle on the Lower Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie!

We’ll be launching from Merwin’s Wharf, a convenient and FREE location with an easy-to-use launch platform. This will be a workout-focused paddle, maintaining an average pace of about 4.0 mph, so come ready for a steady and active session on the water.

Meeting Time and Details:

• Meet time: 8:00 AM
• Launch time: 8:30 AM. Please arrive early enough to be fully prepared to launch on time.
• Return: Around 11:00~11:30 AM (approximately 2.5 hours on the water)
• Paddle speed: Average pace of 4.0 MPH

Requirements:

• Sea kayak with at least two bulkheads
• Safety gear: PFD, signaling devices, etc.
• Dry suit: Required if the combined air and water temperature is below 120°F

Important Notes:

• This is a group workout paddle for those looking to maintain a consistent pace. We will be paddling as a group for safety, but please ensure you are comfortable with the workout pace.
• I’m a fellow paddler, not a guide or expert. I’ve been kayaking regularly since 2021, but I do not have formal training in areas such as medical assistance, navigation, or rescue.
• This event is weather-dependent, and all participants assume full responsibility for their own safety.
• If you RSVP but can’t attend, please notify me. You are officially part of the trip only if you RSVP on Meetup and meet me at Merwin’s Wharf.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. Looking forward to a great workout on the water!
