Rent a paddleboard, take lessons, participate in SUP yoga sessions and more through SUP CLE on Whiskey Island or Rocky River’s UltraMissions.
Founded by Lynne Nagy, who has a doctorate in learning and development from Cleveland State University, UltraMissions’ goal is to empower people of all ages with a stronger sense of self, enhance individual and group problem-solving skills and help people embrace the spirit of fun and adventure.
Explore other waterways through Burning River Adventures, which offers kayaking trips along the Cuyahoga River. At Great Lakes Watersports rent and launch a kayak, speed boat or pontoon boat and create your own cruise from Lakewood to Bratenahl. Or, let 41 North Coastal Kayak Adventures do the planning by booking a tour.
Abandon the engines and paddles altogether at Float The River in Cuyahoga Falls, which offers relaxing tubing rides down the Cuyahoga River. Savannah Snyder and TJ Mack brought the concept to the region. “We love the community. We are constantly supporting events to help river restoration,” Mack says.
For those with large groups, staff tie together tubes so you can float down the water as a team. “It’s way more fun with a group,” he adds.
Leave the shoreline behind and explore Cleveland by boat. The BrewBoat CLE and CLE Tiki Barge are both BYOB and allow guests to choose the tunes.
The Nautica Queen features a buffet and entertainment, and the Goodtime III offers narrated sightseeing adventures.
Plan your own cruise for up to six people with Great Lakes Boat Charters, which offers fishing, swimming, sightseeing and tubing trips. Or, trade Sunday tailgating for sailgating with Cleveland Sailing Charters' lakefront cruise before kickoff.
