Registration is now closed.

New this year is an open river swimmers event and intro to Kayak Safety Training Level 1.

There will be prizes for winning poker hands and there will be novice and experienced routes available.

Everything gets underway starting at 8:00 am with assigned times.

This is not a race, but a fun paddle that all ages and abilities can enjoy. Each paddler will follow a route beginning at Brown’s Bay that includes at least five stops or checkpoints where they will draw a playing card. The best hands win.

“In communities like Front of Yonge, we are so lucky to have the recreational opportunities offered by the St. Lawrence River. Paddling is a great example of active transportation and we welcome people from near and far to enjoy our community and the river in this third annual event,” said Township of Front of Yonge Mayor Roger Haley.

The Paddle Poker Run is an event that encourages people to get outside to celebrate and enjoy the St. Lawrence River. All river-appropriate paddle craft are welcome (kayak, canoe, etc.)
