About

Looking to make new friends or try a new activity? Want to improve your balance, explore a new stretch of Indianapolis, and connect with fellow paddlers? The Pink Paddle Club brings together she’s + they’s on our waterways! Trade your broom in for a paddle and join us on a downtown river adventure for our Season of the Witch: October Float on Sunday, October 12 at 3:30 PM. Witchy attire encouraged.

We'll launch from Belmont Beach and paddle downstream for a ~2.5 mile paddle towards White River State Park, ending at a bonfire along the Urban Wilderness Trail. Shuttle service by Frank's will return you to Belmont Beach between 6 and 6:30 PM. All skill levels - including first-timers - are welcome!

Carpooling to Belmont Beach is encouraged - there is limited parking available at the park and additional parking across White River Parkway on Belmont Avenue. Belmont Beach's official address is 1350 N White River Parkway W Drive, but Google Maps best knows the site as 2020 N White River Parkway W Drive. For additional information visit https://belmontbeachindy.org/faq/.

In the event of inclement weather or unsafe water levels on 10/12, a rain date is scheduled for 10/29.

Please be aware this event is NOT located at Frank's Paddlesports Livery's regular headquarters. With questions about where to meet (Belmont Beach Park), please call us at 260-226-3075. You will need to arrive 10-15 minutes before the event start time.

Please note that if you are bringing a child that requires a car seat (any child weighing less than 40 lbs.), you must provide the car seat for your child. We will have your child seat waiting for you at the front desk at the end of your trip. We have a limited number of child booster seats that we can provide for children over 40 lbs. and under the age of 8.

What to bring with you: Water shoes! Chacos, Tevas, Keens or an old pair of sneakers you don’t mind getting wet/muddy are strongly recommended. Flip-Flops are not ideal – we recommend something with ankle-backing. Dress for the weather & don’t forget your water, sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, and small coolers. Make sure to bring a waterproof bag for your phone. We will have some available for purchase, just ask a Frank’s team member.

We will provide you the watercraft you selected, paddles and life-jackets, which will be ready for you upon your arrival. Our team will also be providing you with an orientation on how to use the equipment safely and effectively. Please meet us at Belmont Beach Park..

Please note that we have a strict cancellation policy. If you need to cancel or change your reservation, you must let us know at least 48 hours in advance. Reservations and cancellations made within 48 hours of the scheduled depart time are non-refundable.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] We are always here to help.

Thank you again for choosing Frank's Paddlesports Livery, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
