Paddle and Groove

Join Black Swamp Conservancy for a one-of-a-kind floating concert on the Maumee River. A live band performs from a pontoon boat while you paddle alongside in your kayak, creating an unforgettable evening of music and nature. Whether you're dancing in your kayak or simply drifting with the current, this unique experience combines summer fun with community and the beauty of the river. You can either bring your own kayak for $15 or reserve a rental for $45. All skill levels are welcome—this is a relaxed celebration that supports the Conservancy's mission of preserving natural habitats and family farms in northwest Ohio. It's a perfect outing for families looking to enjoy live music in an unconventional setting while surrounded by water and summer scenery.
