POLSON — Paddle for clean water in the third annual Poker Paddle Sunday, July 9. Bring your kayak, canoe, paddleboard or other human-propelled watercraft and paddle through the Narrows. Early bird registration is available now through May 31on the Flathead Lakers website: www.flatheadlakers.org. Regular registration closes June 30. The event is limited to the first 150 paddle craft registered. Last year’s event sold out.
Participants start from Kings Point and choose a short (1.6-mile), middle (3.6-mile), or — new this year — an extended distance (5-plus mile) course that stops at island checkpoints where participants will collect a card at each location.
Prizes will be awarded for best and worst poker hands. There will be a silent auction, a catered picnic dinner and live entertainment by local band Highway 93.
Proceeds benefit the Flathead Lakers education programs and community work to prevent the spread of invasive mussels, promote clean water practices and inspire future watershed citizens.
