ICORE Social Paddlers Summer of 2024

If you’re passionate about kayaking or canoeing and you’re located in Iron or Vilas County,
Wisconsin, there’s a group that might interest you. ICORE Social Paddlers invites all those
interested in exploring the picturesque lakes in the region to join them every Monday evening
throughout the summer. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler, or a newbie trying out the sport
for the first time, this group is open to all!

The group meets at various locations, depending on which lake they’ve decided to explore that
day. Usually, they meet at around 5:00 PM, right before the sun starts to dip towards the
horizon. They then take their kayaks, canoes, or even paddleboards out onto the lake, ready to
take in the stunning scenery around them.
The Iron County region is popular for its pristine lakes, so there’s always something new to
explore every time the group meets. From the crystal-clear waters of Lake Owen to the tranquil
atmosphere at the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, there’s no shortage of ideal locations to paddle
through.

After 1-1.5 hr of paddling, the group then meets up to enjoy dinner together at one of the many
local restaurants in the area. This is a great way to get to know your fellow paddlers, share your
stories and experiences, and forge deeper connections with those who share your passion for
the sport.

The group has a supportive and welcoming atmosphere, so there & no need to worry about
feeling left out or apprehensive about joining. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own kayaks
or canoes, but the group can also provide rentals for those who need them.
Whether you’re a solo paddler or want to bring your spouse or friends with you, you’re sure to
have a great time in the company of like-minded individuals. Join the ICORE kayaking and
canoeing adult social paddle group and experience the region’s stunning waters for yourself!
Please email ondreskyge@gmail.com if you have any questions. The invites for the evening
paddles come through MeetUp each week. If you are not currently connected with meetup it is
easy to do so. Our notices come through the ICORE group on meetup each week.

Looking forward for the ice to melt!!!
