Have you ever wanted to try Dragon Boat paddling but didn't know where to start? You've found the place!

Join the exciting sport that is growing in the United States and is especially big in the Pacific Northwest.

Ridgefield Dragon Boat community paddling is your opportunity to join a fun, team oriented activity at no cost from June 20 through October 4. Paddlers must be 14 years of age or older to participate. No experience is needed.
