Enjoy a peaceful paddle down the upper Milwaukee River, without any of the work! Just show up and we’ll transport you and a kayak upriver, then you float down at your own pace to end at your car, and we take care of the rest. Got your own kayak or canoe? We can transport you and your boat upriver as well. This is Section 3 of the 10-section Paddle Passport of the Milwaukee River. We meet at Ehlers Park in Saukville, just 25 minutes north of downtown Milwaukee. Then you hop in our van and we take you up to Waubedonia Park in Fredonia to launch. This stretch is full of nature and wildlife, and perfect for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Total paddle should take about 1.5-2 hours, can be a little shorter or longer depending on water levels.NOTES:
-Due to unpredictable fall water levels, we may switch to the next section upriver if water is too low.
-Must be at least 12 years old to paddle their own boat, otherwise they must go in a tandem with an adult. Minimum weight for anyone is 50 pounds due to life jacket weight limits.
-Upon arrival at launch we ask anyone who is physically able to help each other out with carrying kayaks from the trailer to the launch if needed.
-This is a self-guided experience. Sometimes people paddle together, but if you come with someone or want to paddle alone you are more than welcome to stay separate from the group, At the same time, for those looking for a social experience paddling with others is likely, but cannot be guaranteed.
