Course Highlights

There’s lots to explore along the Paddlefest route. Check out these great features during your paddle!

 

PADDLE WHEEL PIT STOP

Take a break, take a leak. The Paddle Wheel Pit Stop is located directly below the National Steamboat Monument paddle wheel on the Cincinnati riverside.

Port-o-lets and water will be waiting as you stretch your legs at the halfway point of the paddling route.

If you’re paddling out 4.5 mile course, this destination is your finish line.

Mill Creek Peek

Take an adventure up the Mill Creek and learn about the resurgence of this historic waterway. Members of the Mill Creek Yacht Club will be there to greet you. The confluence of the Mill Creek and the Ohio River is past downtown, so this feature is only available to 9 mile paddlers.

Rhythm on the River

Paddle to the music as you float by our on-water live music performances. Rhythm on the River bands play from house boats along the paddling route. It’s a great way to take a break during your Paddlefest adventure!
