Description

Celebrate Independence Day with an unforgettable evening on the water at our annual 4th of July Paddle Bash & Cookout—a beloved Adventure Outdoor Paddle tradition now in its 4th year! We’re gathering at our beautiful, spring-fed private lake in Tavares, where you’ll enjoy a relaxed setting that’s perfect for paddling, connecting, and making memories. This year, we’re bringing back the community potluck—a fun and casual way for everyone to contribute a dish and enjoy a delicious, shared cookout before we hit the water. Bring your favorite summertime side, dessert, or grilled dish to share! After dinner, we’ll launch our paddle boards and kayaks at sunset for a festive float under the stars. Every guest receives complimentary American flags, glowsticks, and sparklers, and we’ll light up the lake with red, white, and blue as we cruise into the night.
