Appleton Locks Paddle Aug. 26
It’s one of the most colorful and fun events of the year: the Northeast Wisconsin Paddlers cruise through the Appleton locks. The event is for adults and kids, but only open to non-motorized kayaks and canoes. The date is Saturday, Aug. 26 with a launch from Appleton’s Lutz Park and a paddle through the four Appleton locks to Sunset Park in Kimberly. Fees are adults $15, Northeast Wisconsin Paddlers members $10, and children under 16 are free when accompanied by an adult.
The Appleton Locks Paddle gives you a view from the inside of the only restored, hand-operated locks system in the nation. We pass through all four Appleton locks, which date back to 1856. Learn more about the locks.
If the flow rate is too high for novice paddlers to handle the Appleton locks safely, we will relocate downstream, launching at Sunset Park in Kimberly and landing at Riverside Park in Kaukauna.
Save time at the launch by filling out the American Canoe Association ADULT WAIVER FORM or CHILD WAIVER FORM in advance and have the correct amount of cash or a check to pay the event fee.
