Paddle & Pour starts and ends at Lakefront Brewery, but the real adventure happens in between. We’ll meet at the brewery, load into our van, and head upstream to Hubbard Park Beer Garden for a drink before hitting the water. From there, enjoy a guided paddle down the Milwaukee River back to Lakefront Brewery, navigating the small Class I rapids at North Avenue along the way. This trip is best suited for intermediate paddlers comfortable with moving water.

This stretch of river is calm towards the beginning and end, with a bit of excitement in the middle! We should be on the water about an hour before arriving at Lakefront Brewery to enjoy another beverage and a Friday Night Fish Fry for those that are interested! Leave as early or stay as long as you’d like.
