2020 Black River Open Paddle

Join Michigan Maritime Museum members, volunteers, and other paddlers for a free, socially distanced beautiful fall paddle on the serene Black River in South Haven. The 2020 paddle is also in honor of avid river advocate and paddler Ronnee Harrell who passed away this year.

The paddle is open to all ages and levels in every area of paddling be it canoe or SUP. The purpose is to enjoy the river with your fellow paddlers and maybe learn a little something along the way. 

The Museum will provide a guide to lead the event. Paddlers are responsible for their own equipment/rentals. All paddlers will meet at the Black River Park Public Launch and paddle upriver for approximately an hour before returning to the launch.

This event is free. Registration for the event is required. General donations to the Museum and/or in memory of Ronnee Harrell are appreciated.
