Tip of the Mitt Paddle Fest Makes a Splash, Sept. 7-8

Join the Michigan DNR and Green Veil Outdoor for a weekend of music, craft beer, camping, and paddling at the Tip of the Mitt Paddle Fest at Aloha State Park in Cheboygan, Michigan on September 7 and 8!

As a benefit for the nonprofit organization Top of Michigan Trails Council, this two-day event will feature a Saturday “Paddlerama” where paddlers will participate in a series of events, including: sprints, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) jousts, SUP yoga, demos, races, and water safety programs on Mullett Lake in Aloha State Park. Following the day on Mullett Lake, paddlers and the public are invited to enjoy a craft beer festival Saturday evening featuring some of the tastiest beers, local eateries, and bands from across Michigan. Sunday will challenge paddlers with a 13-mile paddle from Aloha State Park through the inland waterway to the beach at Cheboygan State Park, including a paddle-through and photo opportunity at the Cheboygan Locks.

Stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes are all welcome.
