Founded in 2001, the Sail & Paddle Club has been providing “On the Water“ access for Lakewood residents for over 20 years. It was established by Steve Bertken with three Butterfly Sailboats providing sailing lessons for kids and weekly group sail events for residents. Later it expanded to include kayaks, paddle boards and canoes. In 2018, the Club held a Guiness World Record event at the Cove Beach and presently holds the record for “Most People on a Paddle Board” with 75 people on a 50’ paddle board. The Club reorganized as nonprofit 501c corporation in 2019.  The Club now has over 80 kayaks, paddle boards, sailboats, fishing boats and canoes at three shoreline locations around the lake. Membership is available to all Lakewood residents to join with minimal annual membership fees.
