Fall Paddle Fest Tickets

Fall Paddle Fest is a relaxed, non-competitive paddle event hosted by Shenango River Watchers, a long-standing, award-winning organization founded in 2001. The event celebrates the Shenango River’s environmental, scenic, and recreational value through a day of paddling, community, and appreciation for the river. This edition focuses on the Shenango River downstream voyage starting at Pymatuning State Park and finishing at Riverside Park in Greenville, PA, with a finish lunch and live music to cap off the day.

Organized by Shenango River Watchers, the festival has earned notable recognition, including the 2021 Pennsylvania River of the Year award, and a history of grants and community support dating back to 2003. Secure your seats and join fellow paddlers for a scenic, family-friendly experience on Class 1 water with a supportive, environmentally focused community.
