Paddlefest lives on! We’re thrilled to share that Wild River Kayak Co. will be taking on the managing and planning for Paddlefest, ensuring this cherished event continues to grace our waters.

Parkersburg Paddlefest is a fun-filled event dedicated to people-powered watercraft. Kayaks, Canoes, and Stand-up Paddleboards are welcome to join us at Point Park for this unique event. The confluence of the Ohio and Little Kanawha Rivers is the setting for the event.
