Freshwater Paddlers
Sea Kayak Symposium
June 26-29, 2025
June 24-26 Pre-Event Workshops
Apostle Islands - Cornucopia - Wisconsin
JOIN FELLOW PADDLERS ON THE GREATEST GREAT LAKE!
The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is a premier destination for sea kayakers from around the world for a reason! Lake Superior is truly an 'Inland Sea', with paddling opportunities from calm bays to rowdy open water.
Learning Adventures
Symposiums are a fantastic way to get inspired and tune your skills while having fun. Novice to expert, it doesn't matter, we'll be growing together.
Check out the schedule for current offerings.
Community Connections
The symposium is designed to connect paddlers to communities. Look forward to social paddles, group meals, and local partnerships. Our base is the small village of Cornucopia but our venue is the entire Apostle Islands area!
Paying It Forward
As an official 501c3 non-profit organization, Freshwater Paddler was created to educate about paddling and benefit our local communities. We donate 30% of your registration dollars to a related cause.
For 2025 we are contributing to fresh water protection through The Superior Rivers Watershed Association.
