Sunrise Paddle

Sunrise Dragon Boat Paddle 🌅🐉

Start your morning on the water with a sunrise paddle on beautiful Kempenfelt Bay!

We’ll head out on the dragon boat for a relaxed paddle as the sun rises over Barrie. No dragon boating experience is needed — just come ready to paddle, meet some great people and enjoy a peaceful morning on the water.

All equipment is provided, including paddles and PFDs (life jackets). You’re also welcome to bring your own PFD or paddle.

What to Bring:
Comfortable clothing for the weather, water, and footwear you don’t mind getting a little wet. Layers are recommended for cooler mornings.

Parking & Meeting Location:
Free parking is available across the street in the municipal lots between Bayfield Street and the marina area. Please note there is no parking on Simcoe Street. Parking is also available in the Heritage Park lot.

A map and final meeting details will be emailed to guests before the event. Please arrive 10–15 minutes early so we can get everyone fitted with equipment and on the water for sunrise.

Weather & Cancellation:
Dragon boating is weather dependent. If conditions are unsafe to paddle, cancellation will be communicated by email and your payment will be refunded, minus the small booking/processing fee.
