Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Halloween Story Time Canoe Paddle with Wild Rumpus

Join us Friday, October 16 from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM for an enchanting Story Time Canoe Paddle! We’ll combine the magic of story time with the outdoor beauty of a gentle canoe paddle on south Minneapolis’ Chain of Lakes. Together in our 10-person North canoes, we’ll sing and paddle on Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles, and Cedar Lake. At Cedar Lake Point Beach, we’ll pull over onto the shore for a story time led by children’s bookstore Wild Rumpus staff.

Costumes are encouraged on this Halloween canoe paddle! Think comfy, weather‑friendly outfits that can be worn with a life jacket. Whether your child comes as a pumpkin, dragon, astronaut, or ghost, they’ll experience the Halloween season in a whole new way: paddling across the water with family and friends.
