🌊 RIVER CONDITIONS UPDATE 🌊

The Ohio River is up and moving, and it’s a good reminder that conditions on the river can change quickly.

The river at Wheeling is currently around 20 feet, well above the normal pool of approximately 16 feet, and is forecast to rise to around 22 feet before beginning to fall.
What does that mean if you’re thinking about getting out on the water?

Use good judgment. Higher water can mean a stronger current, floating debris, changing launch conditions, and a much different paddling experience than what you may be used to.

At Wheeling Watersports, we want everyone to have a great time on the water — but safety always comes first.

🛶 Check current river and weather conditions before heading out.
🌊 Know your experience level and your limits.
🦺 Always wear your life jacket.
⚠️ If the conditions make you uncomfortable, don’t go. There will always be another day to paddle.

When in doubt, sit it out. 👍

Stay safe, Wheeling! 🌊🛶

☀️🛶 WHAT A FIRST WEEKEND! 🛶☀️

Our brand-new PaddlePort had an AMAZING first weekend at Wheeling Watersports! 🎉

The weather couldn’t have been better, the kayaks were hitting the water, and we couldn’t be happier with how our first weekend went!
We also want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who liked, shared, commented on, and helped spread the word after we announced the PaddlePort was officially open. The response has been incredible, and we truly appreciate all the support! ❤️

The PaddlePort makes it easier than ever to get out and enjoy the Ohio River — reserve online, grab your gear, unlock your kayak and GO! No waiting around and no need to coordinate a pickup.

🍂 And we’re not done yet! The PaddlePort will remain open this fall for as long as Mother Nature cooperates, so there’s still plenty of time to get out on the water!

And this is just the beginning… 👀
We’re already looking ahead to next season and can’t wait to bring more PaddlePort locations to the area! 🛶📍
