PaddleFest
Paddlefest 2025 began as a chilly, foggy morning which eased into a beautiful, sunny day. We had a record breaking 187 participants, many of them new to kayaking, paddling out on our beautiful Conneaut Lake. They enjoyed visiting 12 docks around Ice House Bay, greeting our happy volunteers, tossing dice and spending the morning with friends and family. Garrett Miller won the beautiful kayak donated by Silver Shores, our Event Sponsor and 4 lucky paddlers won cornhole sets, thanks to our Dice Run Sponsors.
We are grateful for our participants, our dedicated volunteers, our generous sponsors and the community support, all of which made this event possible!
