Father’s Day Paddle & Fresh Cut Adventure

June 21 @ 11:30 am 5:00 pm EDT

Some of the best adventures start with a good conversation.

A few years ago, Brenda at Jack’s Barbershop introduced Frank’s owner, Peter Bloomquist, to Grant Kinast while they were both sitting in her barber chairs in downtown Indianapolis. That introduction turned into a friendship, a partnership, and eventually helped shape the social media voice of Frank’s Paddlesports Livery.

Now we’re celebrating that connection with a special Father’s Day paddle on the White River.

Join Brenda and Peter for a guided 4-mile paddle along one of Indianapolis’ greatest natural treasures. This relaxed, beginner-friendly trip is the perfect way to spend Father’s Day weekend; whether you’re bringing Dad, paddling with family, or simply looking for a memorable outdoor adventure.

Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the White River, Frank’s journey from a small seasonal operation to Indianapolis’ favorite paddlesports destination, and what’s next for river recreation in Central Indiana.
