2026 Donner Lake Witch Paddle

Witches, warlocks, werewolves, and their friendly familiars are invited to a free community costume paddle✨ Participate in our ritual and intention setting before the paddle, or just join us to haunt the lake! Witch paddles have become a fall tradition in communities across the country, including several around Lake Tahoe and others on Donner Lake. Our friend group has held its own unofficial paddle earlier in the month in years past, and this year we decided to grow it into a bigger community event. Along with ritual and… intention setting, we're collecting coats to help local witches and warlocks stay warm this winter. Come for the pointy hats and paddling, leave a little more laughter, magic and warmth behind. 🌙
