SUMMARY:Take to the Lake
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date: Saturday\, August 22nd 10am – 4pm\nTake to the Lake\nDoan Brook Watershed Partnership has been hosting our annual event Take to the Lake which was started in 2013 as a memorial to Lester Stumpe\, an avid paddler and early DBWP board member.  Canoeing on the Shaker Lakes was a popular pastime in the first half of the 20th century\, but public boating on the lakes is now less common. Take to the Lake gives participants a chance to resurrect this recreational opportunity for a day\, and gain a new perspective on the Doan Brook and its place in our watershed community. We hope you will join us for an afternoon of paddling\, a guided hike\, yoga\, and watershed education along the banks the Doan’s waters. \nEvent Details\nWhere: Lower Shaker Lake\, Brook Rd.

SUMMARY:The Doan Brook: Hiking For Cleaner Waters
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nLooking for a break from the sun and the crowds during our 2026 Take to the Lake event? Join the Doan Brook Watershed Partnership for a guided and interactive family-friendly hike around Lower Lake! \nAs we explore the brook and its surrounding habitats\, you’ll discover the incredible diversity of plants and wildlife that call the Doan Brook home. Along the way\, we’ll identify native aquatic and terrestrial species\, discuss the important roles they play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem\, and learn how they contribute to clean water\, wildlife habitat\, and the overall health of the brook. \nWhether you’re a seasoned nature enthusiast or simply curious about the water around you\, this hike offers a unique opportunity to experience the watershed in a new way. Come connect with nature\, ask questions\, and gain a deeper appreciation for the plants\, animals\, and ecological processes that make the Doan Brook such an important part of our community. \nWhere to meet\nWe will meet for our hike at the Doan Brook Habitat table on the west side of Brook Rd.  \nDon’t have time for an entire hike\, but already at Take to the Lake? Consider stopping by our Doan Brook Habitat table to learn more about our watershed! \nWhat to Bring\nPlease wear closed-toed shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. We will be walking on a combination of paved\, mulched\, and gravel paths for approximately 1 mile around the lake. A water bottle and snacks are recommended for your comfort. The hike will involve frequent breaks where we will identify and discuss the roles of plants and animals in and around the brook. \nParking\nParking is available on South Park Boulevard.

SUMMARY:Take to the Lake Canoe Lesson 4- 12:15pm-1:30pm
DESCRIPTION:TRY-IT: Canoeing \nHave you always wanted to try canoeing?  Now’s your chance! Join Cleveland Metroparks to learn paddle techniques and basic boat fitting as you try canoeing under the guidance of certified instructors. Canoeing is a wonderful activity for families as you can share the same canoe! \n A couple of things to note: \n\nAll participants should arrive early\, and be prepared to sign an additional waiver.\nCanoes can hold more than one individual; capacity will be determined by instructors onsite. In some cases\, smaller children might be able to ride as a non-paddler in the bottom of an adult’s boat (this applies to canoes only).\nIndividuals should plan to get wet. Footwear that secures to the foot such as a tennis shoe or a water shoe is mandatory while participating in the activity. Crocs\, slides\, or flip flops are not suitable\, and footwear is not provided.\nActivities will be on land and on the lake. All participants are required to wear a properly fitted lifejacket while on the water (provided by Cleveland Metroparks Outdoor Recreation).\nYour feedback about the program is essential. Please help us to continue to offer successful programs by completing an online evaluation.\n\nParticipants must be AT LEAST 8 YEARS OLD to participate. All youth participants must be accompanied by a responsible adult. In some cases\, smaller children might be able to ride as a non-paddler in the bottom of an adult’s boat (this applies to canoes only). \nParticipants must be UNDER 275 POUNDS to accommodate the life jackets and boats available. \nAll guests will be required to sign a waiver before paddling: kayaking and canoeing. Waivers will be available onsite. A parent/legal guardian MUST sign for all minors. In the event another adult is accompanying the minor at the event\, the minor’s parent/legal guardian can complete and have the minor bring this waiver to the program. \nHere is the link to download the aforementioned waiver: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UWRvpsomUwNGsH9YqL8b8b-r8JQ52aGK/view?usp=sharing
