Lake 2 Ocean Paddle Race for Clean Water

Lake 2 Ocean Paddle Race is a fundraiser event in efforts to help Rescue the River of Grass, raise awareness about the toxic Lake Okeechobee discharges that are harming our beloved waterways, and support our local non-profits that are leading the battle for clean water. The event will take place on Saturday, April 12th 2025 starting at Port Mayaca and finishing in Stuart. Paddlers of all levels are invited to join together and embark on a 36 mile journey along the iconic Lake Okeechobee waterway. By participating in this event, you’ll be supporting efforts to prevent further pollution, advocate for sustainable water management practices, and promote the health and well-being of our local ecosystems. Proceeds from the event will benefit our local South Florida organization Friends of the Everglades. If you are unable to participate in the event, wish to be a sponsor or just want to donate here’s your chance to show your support!
