Brown’s Bay – The 5th annual Front of Yonge Paddle Poker Run held this past Saturday, September 13th, was another great success.
54 participants came out to paddle a 5K or 10K route. Each paddler followed a route beginning at Brown’s Bay that included at least five stops or checkpoints where they drew a playing card. After the paddle, there will be prizes for the best poker hand.

The first paddlers were piped out by piper Gord Cramb.
The Township of Front of Yonge hosts the annual Paddle Poker Run, which 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.
