October Spooky Paddle - St. Joseph River
Are you ready for a spooky fall paddle? Join us on October 5th as we paddle down the St. Joseph River on a 3.5 mile journey through beautiful fall foilage and scary skeletons on the river! But don't be worry, this paddle is not too spooky for the kiddos who will be entertained by the skeleton's shenanigans.
There is no parking at Van Zile Bridge so if you are staging your vehicle you will need to drop your gear and park at the back lot of Steady Eddy's Station and be dropped back at the put-in. We will be offering a shuttle service but space is very limited so reserve your spot on the shuttle early by emailing Cara at cara@fwoutfitters.com. If you are utilizing the shuttle, meet at Steady Eddy's Station at 1:30pm to load up for a 2pm launch at Van Zile Bridge.
You can bring your own boat or rent through Fort Wayne Outfitters (fwoutfitters.com) and choose the Spooky Paddle from Steady Eddy's.
