Every trip goes like this. We shuttle you upriver 🌊 so you can paddle back, or cruise with the current.

Our final Fall Colors & Salmon Run trips are October 16–18!

Join us for one more paddle this season.

Experience fall on the Milwaukee River with Milwaukee Riverkeeper !

Join Riverkeeper staff for a guided Fall Colors Paddle on Friday, October 16 at 2:30 PM through one of the most scenic stretches of the river. They’ll lead the way while Forward Outdoor provides the kayaks, gear, and logistics to make getting on the water easy.

Beginner-friendly, no experience necessary, and a portion of every registration benefits Milwaukee Riverkeeper and their work protecting our local waterways.

Enjoy the fall colors, learn more about the river, and support the people working to protect it.

Space is limited — reserve your spot today!

Some of the trees along the Milwaukee River are still green, but there are some fall leaves 🍂 breaking through.

Paddle Brown Deer today and you'll catch the start of the change.

We're back on that stretch next weekend!

Our expansion to Discovery World 🤯 still feels a little surreal.

But day to day, we’re focused on what matters most: helping new paddlers feel comfortable on the water, slow down, and connect with the outdoors one trip at a time.

We're wrapping up at Discovery World today, but thanks for trusting us to help you get started!

It's our last day of the season down at our Discovery World location, come and see us, it's beautiful out!
Our Fall Colors & Salmon Run River Kayaking trips will run until mid-October so we're not done yet.
Last boats out at Discovery World at 5pm today, thanks for all your support this summer!

Most of this crew has spent the season loading boats, checking gear, and making sure every one of your trips start smoothly.

We're the people behind your trip 🤝, from check-in to the final paddle back to shore.
