Skip the tie this Father’s Day and make a memory instead.

We still treasure the memories we have of exploring lakes and rivers with our dads when we were kids. Being on the water together made everything feel like an adventure!

This Father’s Day weekend, we hope you’ll make a few river memories of your own.

Celebrate the dads, stepdads, grandpas, mentors, and father figures in your life with a kayak or paddleboard adventure on the Manitowoc River.

Bonus: Our ADA accessible kayak launch includes overhead grab bars to help make getting in and out of your kayak easier, especially for anyone whose knees aren't quite what they used to be.

You might not believe us when we tell you how much of Manitowoc you can see without ever getting in a car.

A lighthouse. A submarine. A Lake Michigan ferry. Bald eagles, herons, osprey, and otters. Massive ships entering the harbor. Quiet stretches of river that make you forget you're in the middle of the city.

You can experience it all from a kayak or paddleboard.

We shared a few of our favorite sights (and why we chose our location for Simply Paddle) on our website:

We love hearing how people are making Simply Paddle part of their summer!

One of our favorite suggestions? Launch from River Point, paddle up the river, and enjoy live music from the water. 🎶🚣

Thanks for the kind words and for sharing another great way to experience Manitowoc.

Tonight’s paddle has been rained out, but we’re not peeling out completely. 🍌
