Milwaukee, USA

1 hour (approximately)

Forward Outdoor offers one of the most unique ways to experience Milwaukee. Located directly on the waterfront at Discovery World, our rental location provides immediate access to calm, protected harbor waters with stunning views of the city skyline, Lake Michigan, Lakeshore State Park, and the Summerfest grounds.

Unlike many paddling experiences that require transportation, lengthy instructions, or advanced skills, guests can get on the water quickly and explore at their own pace. We offer a variety of watercraft—including kayaks, paddleboards, hydro bikes, and paddle boats—making it easy for families, couples, solo travelers, and groups to find the perfect adventure.

As a locally owned Milwaukee business, we're passionate about helping people connect with the outdoors and discover the city from a perspective most visitors never experience.

What to expect

Discover Milwaukee from the water with a relaxing paddle in the protected harbor at Discovery World. Choose from kayaks, paddleboards, hydro bikes, or paddle boats and explore the calm waters surrounding Lakeshore State Park, the Summerfest grounds, Milwaukee's lakefront, and the city's iconic skyline.

Unlike paddling on a river, this experience allows you to move at your own pace without a shuttle or set route. Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Michigan, watch sailboats and harbor activity, spot local wildlife, and experience Milwaukee from a unique perspective. Whether you're looking for a fun family outing, a casual adventure with friends, or a peaceful escape on the water, our location offers one of the easiest and most scenic ways to get outside and enjoy the city.
