Ask anyone on our Fall Colors trips what they enjoy the most.

It's usually the quiet connection to nature.

The orange leaves rustle, a cool breeze brushes your face, and everything is still except for your paddle breaking the water.

These trips coincide with the salmon run 🐟 upstream.

For a few weeks in October, the banks turn deep orange and rust red 🍁, with branches leaning out over the water.

Getting on the water is the best way to experience the scene.

Our Fall Colors trips run Fridays through Sundays from September 25 through October 18. Take it slow on purpose!

Less splashing, more looking around.

🌅🧘 Two ways to slow down on the water this week.

THURSDAY | Anchored at Sunrise 🌅
Start your day on the water with a peaceful sunrise paddle. We’ll head out together, drop anchor, and take a few quiet moments to watch Milwaukee wake up from the water.

SATURDAY | SUP Yoga 🧘‍♀️
Take your practice onto the water with a beginner-friendly SUP Yoga session at our Dock at Discovery World, featuring the unique SOL Paddleboards Namastation floating yoga setup.

No experience? No problem. Both experiences are beginner-friendly, and all equipment is included.

Two chances to step away from the noise, get outside, and experience the water a little differently.

Paddle. Beach bonfire. S’mores.

Join us tomorrow night for a special Bonfire Social Paddle in partnership with Friends of Lakeshore State Park !

We’ll paddle together, led by Cathy Stadler, from our Dock at Discovery World to the beach at Lakeshore State Park, where we’ll pull the boats ashore and gather around a bonfire for s’mores and time to hang out before paddling back.

Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a date night—this is all about getting outside, meeting people, and experiencing Milwaukee’s lakefront in a completely different way.
