PACK A DAM LOCK (P.A.D.L.)
The inaugural Pack A Dam Lock (P.A.D.L.) event was hosted in 2021 in coordination with Cannelton Lock & Dam and the U.S. Coast Guard. Guiding 100 paddlers down the Ohio River and locking through the Dam provide many people the chance to do something new in a safe environment. This event is held on the last Saturday in July.

How We Make An Impact
Impact Program
Impact Program was created to help unite us as a community, to learn from one another, to share diverse perspectives, and to do our part in keeping nature wild. The mission of the program is to build community, practice better disposal methods, and educate the importance of recycling.
The goal of this program is to provide community events the opportunity to operate nearly waste-free. Learn more about the program by emailing a request form to info@paddlperry.com
Keep Nature Wild
We provide ways you can make a difference on and off the water in Southern Indiana year-round.
As Wild Keeper Advocates, we submit how much trash our group picks up collectively each month. Want to help? It’s easy!
Share pictures of what you’ve collected with the tag #impactday to our Paddle Perry Community Facebook page #ImpactDay album (link below) for chances to win cool prizes every month!
Service hours are offered to all individuals and youth groups, too!
Pitch in during #EarthDay for our annual community wide Ohio River Sweep. Details on our Facebook page.
