PADDLES & POPS: Grand Opening at Discovery World
Join Forward Outdoor on Friday, June 6 for our Grand Opening celebration at the Dock at Discovery World! Enjoy $10 intro paddles, free popsicles starting at 1 PM while supplies last, music, waterfront vibes, and beginner-friendly fun on kayaks, paddleboards, hydro bikes, and paddle boats in the protected waters surrounding Discovery World, Lakeshore State Park, and Summerfest. A special ribbon cutting and group paddle launch will take place at 1 PM as we celebrate the start of summer on Milwaukee’s lakefront. Whether you’re looking to paddle for the first time, enjoy the skyline from the water, or just soak up the atmosphere, Paddles & Pops is all about making it easy to get outside and experience Milwaukee from a new perspective.
