Paddlefest- Meade State Park

Get ready for a celebration of paddle sports in Southwest Kansas! 

All Paddlefest events are FREE OF CHARGE! All vehicles entering the park must have a valid Kansas State Parks Vehicle Permit.

Starting at 12:00 p.m. we will have FREE one-hour kayak and canoe rentals. We will have youth kayaks and paddles available (suitable for kids up to 100 lbs.) for free rental as well so the whole family can participate! Last free rental is at 7:00 p.m.

If you’re not quite sure about heading out on the water on your own, sign up for our Paddle Sport Safety Clinic at 9:00 a.m.! This clinic covers everything you need to know to be safe and confident out on the water. We have had everyone from 7-year-olds to 70+ year-olds participate in our clinics! Call (620) 873-2572 for more information or stay tuned to our Facebook page!
