Join us for a scenic paddle along the St. Croix River, where you'll spend the day immersed in art, relaxation, and nature. Enjoy slow observation, gentle sun, and creative activities like sketching mushrooms or painting river turtles, guided by local artists.
We'll meet at Paddlefish Adventures and take a shuttle to Wisconsin Interstate Landing, where we'll pair up in canoes and set off on our river adventure. As we paddle, we take in the breathtaking scenery, observe the vibrant colors and textures of the riverway, and pause often to explore sandbars.
At the halfway point, we'll pause at Eagle's Nest Campground to explore the fundamentals of the guest artist’s medium and style. Afterwards, unwind on picnic blankets, swim, snack, and create your own art in a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere.
Prepare for a day filled with sunshine, camaraderie, and creativity on the National Scenic Riverway. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this experience welcomes all skill levels—because we learn and grow together through shared inspiration.
Each month, the Paint & Paddle will be hosted by a different artist. If you are interested in signing up for all four, we offer a discounted registration fee. Contact us directly to receive the discount code.
