The Paddle Poker Run is an event that encourages people to get outside to celebrate and enjoy the St. Lawrence River in an eco-friendly way. All river-appropriate paddle craft are welcome (kayak, canoe, etc.) This is not a race, but a fun paddle that all ages and abilities can enjoy.
“We are so excited to be hosting our fifth annual Front of Yonge Paddle Poker Run! 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 fifth annual event,” said Township of Front of Yonge Mayor Roger Haley
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. After the paddle, there will be prizes for the best poker hand.
There will be routes set up for beginners and for experienced paddlers, ranging from 5km to 10km, and an optional kayaking safety demonstration will be offered on the morning of the event.
