Calling all Flathead Lake lovers. Get ready for an amazing day of fun on the water at the annual Poker Paddle for Clean Water on July 20!

Bring your kayaks, SUPs, canoes, or swimming abilities and choose between our short, medium, or long course and paddle to designated stops on the picturesque south end of Flathead Lake in Polson, MT. Along the way, collect playing cards to build your winning hand. Each player will receive a commemorative gift. At the end of the paddle, we’ll award prizes for both the best and worst hand, so bring your poker face and get ready to show off your skills on the water!

This year we reduced tickets costs so you can bring your family and friends. Tickets are $50 for adults and $35 for youth paddlers aged 17 and under. Parents or guardians must be present, but this is a great opportunity for families to enjoy the beautiful lake together!

Lunch will not be covered in your ticket price this year. To make sure our participants are fed promptly after completing the course, we will be hosting food carts for you to order from.

Our event kicks off at Boettcher. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to have fun while supporting clean water initiatives! Registration begins at 8:30 am with staggered start times based on course length. Safety talks given 10 minutes prior to launch time.

Long course launches at 9:00am
Mid length launches at 9:30am
Short/Family launches at 10:00am

 

The POKER PADDLE is limited to 100 vessels.

Proceeds benefit the Flathead Lakers education programs and community work to prevent the spread of invasive mussels, promote clean water practices, and inspire future watershed citizens
