Interested in having some fun on the Shiawassee River and the communities through which it flows?

You've come to the right place! The Shiawassee Water Trail Coalition will be posting upcoming paddle opportunities, events and volunteer activities to help you enjoy the river, learn more about it and join us in helping it stay healthy and clean.

The Coalition has three aquatic invasive species educational paddles scheduled for this summer in partnership with the three "Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas" (CISMA) organizations in Oakland, Genesee/Shiawassee, and Saginaw counties.

The three paddle events are listed below. Click on the link to register:

Sunday, June 12, 2022: Parshallburg Park to Showboat Park, Chesaning

Saturday, June 18, 2022: Holly to Fenton

Saturday, June 25, 2022: DeVries Nature Center to Henderson Road Park

The grant will allow the Coalition to post aquatic invasive species signage at each of our current 15 launch sites on the Shiawassee River and to provide a towel to paddle participants.  We will also share aquatic invasive species materials at each site from the MI Dept of EGLE.
