Welcome to Witch Paddle, Colorado’s most magical morning on the water.
Each fall, hundreds of witches, warlocks, paddleboarders, kayakers, and magical misfits gather before sunrise for a one-of-a-kind paddle across the lake. Dressed in flowing black cloaks, pointed hats, and creative costumes, participants launch together as the morning mist lifts — creating a truly unforgettable sight on the water.
What started as a small gathering of 80 witches has grown into a sold-out community celebration with 400+ paddlers, spectators, vendors, music, and plenty of witchy fun.
Witch Paddle isn’t just about the paddle...it’s about connection, creativity, and community.
Participants can expect:
• A magical sunrise paddle
• Hundreds of witches on the water
• Costume contests and photo moments
• Local vendors and community gathering
• A fun, welcoming environment for all skill levels
Proceeds from Witch Paddle support the Sacred Sisterhood Collective, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating safe spaces for women and families to heal, grow, and reconnect through community, education, and holistic experiences.
Whether you’re an experienced paddler or just here for the magic, Witch Paddle is an unforgettable way to celebrate the season while supporting a meaningful cause.
So grab your board, your broomstick, and your favorite witch hat.
The coven awaits.
