Witch Paddle: October Kayak & Brews
October 7, 2025 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Grab your broomsticks (or paddles!) and join us on the water for a Witch Paddle as the Harvest Moon gets ready to rise.
Costumes encouraged as we fill the river with witches, warlocks and plenty of Halloween spirit.
Please arrive promptly at 2:00pm. Before departing, all participants must fill out waivers, get gear, and listen to our short safety talk.
Paddle:
2pm - 3:30pm ET at the New Buffalo Boat Launch
(across from the beach), 201 Marquette Dr, New Buffalo, MI 49117
Social Hour:
4pm - 5pm ET at Burn 'Em Brewing, 1215 E 2nd St, Michigan City, IN 46360
Registration:
This event is 21+. Registration is required, with limited space for those who do not have their own kayak. Due to our limited number of kayaks, participants who have their own paddlecraft (stand-up paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, etc.) are encouraged to bring them. This is not an instructional event; participants must have previous kayaking experience to attend.
Cost:
We are excited to bring the kayaking portion of this program to the community free of charge. Participants will be responsible for covering their vehicle parking fees at the City Boat Launch and their bills at social hour.
