Paddling Enthusiast Clubs
many of us travel for good whitewater or may try to sneak in some paddling while on vacation or on business trips. These are a few clubs in other areas that may be able to provide information on paddling locations, guides, outfitters, or just people to paddle with.
While we know many of us love whitewater, we also recognize that we are in the midwest and may be tempted to hop on some flatwater or Lake Michigan for some sea kayaking or recreational boating. You'll see some of our sister clubs listed to the left.
