The annual Celebrate Paddling ADK Festival takes place every June in the Tri-Lakes communities of the Adirondack Park. One of the highlights is the Tupper Lake 8-Miler, set for Saturday, June 22, 2024.
The Tupper Lake 8-Miler is a Canoe, Kayak & SUP Race. This year, it starts at the Town of Tupper Lake Boat Launch on State Route 30. The course takes paddlers under the Route 30 bridge, up the Raquette River to the Oxbow and then back to the boat launch.
The entry fee is $30; the first 50 registrants will receive a t-shirt. Register online now. Onsite registration will run from 9 to 10:30 am on race day.

And for those keeping track, the Tupper Lake 8-miler is a New York Paddlesports Race Association points race for canoes and kayaks.
