Grab your boat, paddle, and life jacket and join us as we search for fun and adventure during Paddle Quest 2008. In co-operation with Ohio State Parks and the Ohio Division of Watercraft, Gander Mountain hosts this 10 event series of canoeing and kayak events across the Buckeye State. Discover the great paddling water that’s right in your back yard as we explore 9 of Ohio’s most beautiful State Parks.
The fun begins on May 10th when we visit Shawnee State Park near Portsmouth. Each Paddle Quest event launches at 10AM sharp with event day check in beginning at 8AM. Each registered participant will be entered to win great prizes at the event, and the Paddle Quest Series Grand Prize, a matching pair of kayaks, to be awarded at the series conclusion September 20th at Salt Fork State Park. And don’t forget about lunch, we’ll be hosting a cookout picnic at each Paddle Quest Event.
Here’s the best part, there is no cost to participate. Paddle Quest is FREE! So sign up today, at the bottom of this page!
