Our Mission at Silent Wake is to provide a safe, educational, and enjoyable process to learn how to kayak. We provide the means, you provide the desire. We are conveniently located between West Bend and Port Washington, Wi.
Curious about paddling the Milwaukee River? Find current water levels here. For most of the northern sections, we suggest paddling on the river when levels are above 6.3 gauge height. Wish to understand what CFS and gage height mean? Read this.
Looking to sea kayak in Lake Michigan near Port Washington? Have a look at the South Beach camera (South Beach cam has had some issues). Otherwise, one can use the Port marina camera and scan the horizon.
Need a refresher video on some paddling techniques, how to wear a PFD, or some other fun kayaking tidbits? Check out our YouTube channel.
