Witch Paddle

Welcome to Witch Paddle, Colorado’s most magical morning on the water.

Each fall, hundreds of witches, warlocks, paddleboarders, kayakers, and magical misfits gather for a one-of-a-kind paddle across Chatfield Reservoir. Dressed in flowing black cloaks, pointed hats, and creative costumes, participants launch together as the morning mist lifts, creating an unforgettable sight on the water.

What started as a small gathering of 80 witches has grown into a sold-out community celebration with 400+ paddlers, spectators, vendors, music, costumes, and plenty of witchy fun.

Witch Paddle isn’t just about the paddle. It’s about connection, creativity, community, and giving back.

Participants can expect:

A magical morning paddle

Hundreds of witches on the water

Costume contests and photo moments

Local vendors and community gathering

A fun, welcoming environment for all skill levels
