New! Youth Kayaking & Dragon Boating at Lake Johanna in Arden Hills!

Welcome to Twin Cities Paddlesports. We teach kids how to paddle fast boats. 

For the 2025 season, we are excited to bring our programs to Lake Johanna in Arden Hills.

Our coeducational teams allow kids and teenagers to be active and fit, and our coaches introduce them to the fundamentals of paddling and competitive flatwater racing. We provide paddles, life vests (PFDs), kayaks, canoes, and dragon boats.

Meet us by the beach at the north end of Lake Johanna, where we practice twice weekly. Our kids participate in local races and may even go on road trips to compete in regattas nationally.

Join our Programs. Sign-up is now open.
