2022 Big Island & Back! Paddle Event — Aug. 13, 2022

We are excited to announce the ninth annual Big Island & Back! 10K Paddle on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022 starting at 9 am.
Tune up your canoe, kayak, or paddleboard and head on over to Excelsior on Saturday, Aug. 13, for a friendly race out around Big Island and back. We start near the swim area at Excelsior Beach Park. Our goal is to get paddlers of all ages and skill levels out on Lake Minnetonka for a great community summer event and raise money for a couple of worthy causes.
Don't miss the after-party at Excelsior Brewing Company beginning at 11 am for refreshments from Joey Nova's and, of course, beer! Awards and door prizes at around noon. Make a day of it and explore beautiful Excelsior!
Proceeds from this event will be donated to the ICA Food Shelf program and Freshwater Society!
