We brought you this hidden gem a few years ago, but it’s summertime, and kayaking the Milwaukee and connecting rivers is a wonderful way to experience our area from a whole new perspective.
The Milwaukee Kayak Co. is in its twelfth season and going strong with three locations. Now, we all know that the river has had its issues with cleanliness, but due to the efforts of Milwaukee Riverkeeper, Milwaukee River District, Milwaukee Kayak Co., and other partners, our waters are now inviting.

Beth Handle, owner of Milwaukee Kayak Company, says “The rivers are the cleanest they’ve ever been. We have huge dredging projects that are taking place continually. We have a lot of organizations doing great things to take care of our rivers.”

Beth’s passion for kayaking started when she worked for Laacke & Joys selling outdoor equipment. “When I got on the river with people, I saw how much fun they were having, and I could see the stress leaving their faces, and that's what I really wanted was to get people on the rivers," said Beth.
