The Fifth Annual Blazing Paddles Paddlefest on July 22, 2023 is a paddleboard, kayak, and canoe recreational celebration of Cleveland’s hard-working Cuyahoga River. Paddlers will enjoy exclusive access to Cleveland's historic & scenic Cuyahoga River to enjoy one of three races (3.2, 6.8 and 14.4-miles) or a relaxed 8.6-mile recreational paddle on a fast and protected course. Come for the paddle but you can also enjoy live music, a beerfest and food by the river! Discover why the Cuyahoga River just won the 2023 USA Today 10 Best Readers Choice Best Urban Kayaking Spot vote! http://sharetheriver.com/blazing-paddles
