NOTE: The launch location has been changed! The launch location has been changed so we no longer need to shuttle cars. We will end our trip at the launch location. Because we do not need to shuttle cars, the gathering time has been moved back to 5:30 (launch at 6:00).
The new launch location is:
362 Michigan St.

This is small park with restrooms and an ADA compliant kayak/canoe launch. Extra parking is available on Michigan St., if needed.

SAFETY FIRST
- All participants must wear a personal flotation device (PFD or lifejacket) at all times while on the water.
- No alcoholic beverages are allowed on the paddle or during lunch stops.
BOAT RENTALS
Members of NEWP can arrange to borrow a boat by contacting a member of the Board. Several boat rental businesses operate in the region.
Oshkosh admittedly has been neglected in NEWP’s past paddle schedule. In 2021 we are looking forward to an evening paddle that will take us through the bright lights of downtown Oshkosh. YOU MUST HAVE A WHITE LIGHT AVAILABLE TO DISPLAY IN PRESENCE OF MOTORBOAT TRAFFIC. Or this is the chance to light up your boat like a Christmas tree.
This paddle trip will be an out-and-back round trip from the park at 362 Michigan St, instead of a one-way trip to avoid shuttling.
Preregister with the button above to let us know you’re coming. Complete your ACA waiver form (and/or ACA waiver for minors form) in advance to save time at the launch.
