Special Event: Paddle & A Pint

Join The Paddle And A Pint Event For A Social Kayaking Adventure In Nature

Embark on a fun and social outdoor adventure with the popular Paddle A Pint event. This monthly gathering begins at the boat ramp, where participants are provided with a kayak, paddle, lifejacket, and bottled water for a self-guided two-hour paddle along the scenic Lofton Creek and surrounding wetlands. The event offers a unique opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the area at your own pace while enjoying a relaxed and active outing with friends or family.

After the paddle, the fun continues just a block away at SJ Brewing Co., where participants are treated to their first pint of award-winning craft beer at no cost, along with discounts on in-house made flatbread pizzas. The event encourages socializing, relaxation, and a combination of outdoor activity with local flavors. Guests are advised to bring sunscreen, bug spray if desired, a hat, sunglasses, comfortable clothing, and shoes suitable for getting wet, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience on both the water and on land.

The route along Lofton Creek is renowned for its tranquil waters and abundant wildlife, making it a perfect setting for a peaceful kayaking excursion. As you paddle through the wetlands, you will have the chance to observe the local ecosystem in its natural state. This self-guided format allows you to set your own rhythm, whether you prefer a vigorous workout or a leisurely drift through the scenic waterways. It is a fantastic way to connect with nature.

The social component at the brewery provides a wonderful conclusion to the day's activities. Sharing stories of your paddle over a craft beer and a meal creates a sense of community among participants. This event is highly recommended for those who appreciate the outdoors and local culture. By combining physical activity with a relaxed social atmosphere, the Paddle A Pint event offers a well-rounded experience that is both refreshing and memorable for all who attend.
