Summer Evening Paddle

Wednesday Evening Summer Paddles

Our club runs over 20 Wednesday evening paddling trips, open to just about all skill levels. We rotate the location of these evening trips between Cherokee Marsh, Starkweather Creek, Lake Mendota, Lake Wingra, Six Mile Creek, Token Creek, Maunesha River and various other locations on the Yahara River.
Our Wed. evening paddles are displayed with our weekend paddles and are found on our Event Calendar page

Weekend Paddle

Weekend Paddles

Our typical paddling season consists of over 50 destinations for weekend trips, ranging from sea kayaking in the Apostle Islands, to whitewater paddling on the Bois Brule, to quiet water trips on rivers such as the Wisconsin, Mecan and Sugar rivers.
See our Event Calendar page for more details.

Monthly Meeting

MCP Meets Monthly

The club meets monthly, usually on the first Thursday of the month, at 6:30 pm. After the meal we usually have a program on some facet of paddling. During the winter months, meetings are held at Monona Community Center. In the warmer months we meet outside at Mendota County Park; some members elect to paddle on Lake Mendota following the meeting.
See our Monthly Meeting page for details.

Cleaning Local Rivers

MCP Members Keeping Our Waterways Clean

Many of our members volunteer in helping keep our waterways clear. Some of the organizations we help are Callie Rohr Race, Take a Stake in The Lake, Capitol Water Trails, and a smaller group within the club keeps Token Creek navigable for all paddlers.
See our Links page for more info in how to get involved.
