Join us for " Great Beaver Paddle Festival" held on Beaver Dam Lake and on the river too! The purpose of the event is to introduce kayak, canoe and stand up paddle board enthusiasts to Beaver Dam Lake and the Beaver Dam River as a great destination for paddling.

The Great Beaver Paddle Festival will be a day of free demos, clinics, guided trail trips, paddle challenges and just paddling fun. This year there will be river run too. Bring your own equipment or some rental equipment will be available, or just come down and watch. Learn about paddling, the fastest growing recreation on lakes and rivers.

Paddlers prefer lakes that are not overrun with power boats and have multiple locations to launch. There are six public launch sites and a second handicapped accessible kayak dock and launch was installed last spring at the end of Oneida Street.

Water trails on Beaver Dam Lake vary in length. Maps will be available the day of the event. Paddlers of all levels are invited to come and experience Beaver Dam Lake and participate in the Great Beaver Paddle Festival.

Beaver Dam Lake is the 16th largest lake in Wisconsin and its 42 miles of shoreline offers a tremendous variety of scenic opportunities as well as great variety of waterfowl for birdwatchers and photographers.
