About this activity

Forward Outdoor offers one of the most unique ways to experience Milwaukee. Located directly on the waterfront at Discovery World, our rental location provides immediate access to calm, protected harbor waters with stunning views of the city skyline, Lake Michigan, Lakeshore State Park, and the Summerfest grounds.

Unlike many paddling experiences that require transportation, lengthy instructions, or advanced skills, guests can get on the water quickly and explore at their own pace. We offer a variety of watercraft—including kayaks, paddleboards, hydro bikes, and paddle boats—making it easy for families, couples, solo travelers, and groups to find the perfect adventure.

As a locally owned Milwaukee business, we're passionate about helping people connect with the outdoors and discover the city from a perspective most visitors never experience.
