Stand Up Paddleboarding is the newest of the 6 free/donation based activities UpaDowna offers. It is designed to break down barriers & encourage folks to try the sport of SUP and provide info about where to rent or buy your own equipment. It is amazing to see the empowerment that kids have after they learn how to paddle on their own! It is also very inspiring for adults to find a new, healthy, and fun sport that they can easily do!

Get ahead of the line! Sign the waiver for yourself or everyone in your group before you get to the lake. The waiver only needs to be signed once. When you arrive, just check in with us under the tent! https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5af5ed705265f/web/
