Open Paddles
Open Paddles are an opportunity to meet other paddlers and showcase what Paddle Manitoba is all about: recreational paddling.
These outings are open to members and non-members, beginners to experts.
Participants must provide their own canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard, wear an appropriate PFD or lifejacket at all times on the water, and bring the mandated safety equipment - a whistle, bailer, and throw bag (buoyant heaving line).
There is no cost to open paddles, but participants must sign a Paddle Manitoba or Paddle Canada waiver.
Registration is not requried.

Regular open paddles run every Wednesday evening from May through the end of September on the La Salle River, beginning and ending at the canoe/kayak lauch at La Barriere Park, hosted by Charles Burchill.
La Barriere Park is located at 4403 Waverly Street, south of Winnipeg.
