We are getting ready for FLOATZILLA

Aug. 15, 2020

Take part in the largest paddle on the Mississippi! Experience the Mississippi River free of commercial barge traffic. All paddle crafts are welcome to participate, but only kayaks and canoes are allowed in Lock 15.

This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are changing some aspects of Floatzilla. Our most popular launch sites at Leach Park, Bass Street YMCA, and the Lindsay Park Yacht Club will have registrations limited to 400 paddlers, their launch windows are being expanded to four hours, and we will be assigning half hour launch windows to each group or paddler. For more information on launch sites go to our launch maps page. Buses back to each launch site from Lake Potter will leave every half hour from 10am to 3pm. The Lockmaster at Lock and Dam 15 will limit the number in the lock at one time to 50 paddlers. We will also not be holding the World Record attempt at Lake Potter.

Registration is closed for this year's Floatzilla

Don't have a kayak or canoe? Check out our list of outfitters that serve Floatzilla. Our outfitters will meet up with you at a launch point with the boat, then wait at Sunset Park to pick it up after you finish paddling. Find our list of outfitters HERE .

Included in your registration fee, River Action provides a shuttle service from Sunset Park and Credit Island back to each of the launch sites.
