Clear Lake Paddlefest

Event Details

The best way to experience Clear Lake is from the lake. Grab your paddle and join the fun for our annual Paddlefest event! Explore the shores on your kayak, canoe, or SUP on either our 5 mile, 3 mile, or the fun 1 mile loop. Bring the kids to ride along as well! Check out our Course Map tab to see our routes. See our Schedule tab for our race day line up. Need to rent a kayak, canoe, or SUP? We will have some for rent, but there will be limited availability!

This is a FUN event! No pressure on what your time is. We are timing it for those who wish to make it competitive. Our goal is to promote an active lifestyle while enjoying our beautiful lake. This is a great opportunity for water sport enthusiasts to come together and have a good time! Afterwards, stay for awards and celebrate your finish with food, drinks, family, and friends!
