Annual Lazy Beaver Canoe & Kayak Race! The Reedsburg Kiwanis, with support of the Friends of the Baraboo River, is sponsoring the Annual Lazy Beaver Canoe and Kayak Race on the Baraboo River on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The race’s starting point is in LaValle on the south side of the river, east of the Highway 58 bridge. The finish line is the Granite Avenue boat landing in Reedsburg, where the awards ceremony and post race picnic are also held. The race begins at 10 a.m. with paddlers released in timed intervals in order to space out paddlers on the river, which is narrow in many spots. You may register by filling out this form and returning it to: Reedsburg Kiwanis, P.O. Box 542, Reedsburg, WI 53959, dropping it off at the Reedsburg Chamber of Commerce office on Railroad Street in Reedsburg.
The entry fee is $25 per paddler up until July 20. After that the entry fee is $30 per paddler. You may also register online at friendsoftheboo.org. The entry fee includes a Lazy Beaver gift item and a picnic lunch of sandwiches and pop after the race. Early entry is encouraged as it helps Kiwanis in pre-race planning. Any profits from the race go toward river-related improvement efforts and youth-related projects.
