Grab your boat, paddle, and life jacket and join us as we search for fun and adventure during Paddle Quest 2009. In co-operation with Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Gander Mountain hosts this 10 event series of canoe and kayak events across the Buckeye State. Discover the great paddling waters that are right in your back yard as we explore 10 of Ohio’s most beautiful State Parks.

The fun begins on May 16th when we visit Shawnee State Park near Portsmouth. Each Paddle Quest event launches at 10AM sharp with event day check in beginning at 8AM. Each registered participant will be entered to win great prizes at the event, and a pair of kayaks at the conclusion of the event series.  And don't forget about lunch, we'll be hosting a cookout picnic at each Paddle Quest Event.

Here's the best part, there is no cost to participate. Paddle Quest is FREE! So sign up today!! (Registration at bottom of this page)
