The Loppet Foundation

Loppet Paddling is a branch of the Loppet Foundation, an outdoor recreation non-profit based out of Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis, whose mission is to connect people to the outdoors through experiences that grow community.

Launched in 2023, Loppet Paddling offers programming starting from Cedar Lake for families, youth and adults. Programs are currently primarily focused on canoeing but hope to grow in coming years. Our experienced coaches share their love of paddling, but also a wealth of knowledge around equipment, technical skills, and racing strategy. We have programs focusing on fundamental, efficient, confident paddle strokes, up to local competition preparation.

The Juniors Canoeing program will participate in the NorthStar Paddling League events in the summer of 2024.
