Join the Northwest Indiana Paddlers for the annual Everglades of the North Paddling Event slated for August 8, 2020.

Long ago the Kankakee River Basin hosted a diversity of wildlife that truly rivaled the Everglades. Much has been turned into farmland, but some fragments still exist of it’s former glory.

NWIPA is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing the region’s paddling resources and opportunities, providing environmental stewardship of the region’s waterways, education, and to be a link between the region’s paddlers.
