9th Annual Polar Wolf Plunge

Polar Wolf Plunge 

Bateman Road Bridge at The Wolf River 

Wednesday January 1, 2025 Time Noon to 3:00pm 

Google Maps Keyword: Ghost River Canoe Run (outlet) 

Event is open to the public!

Registration is Required 

Join our cadre of River Guides, their families and new friends as we gather on the banks of the Wolf River to celebrate the arrival of 2025 in a most unique manner.  

Beginning at noon, we will light a bon fire, set out warm beverages and food and gather at the Bateman Road Bridge access ramp to the Wolf River for a great time of socializing in preparation of entering the chilly waters at 1:00.  

Past events drew as many as 30 people to the site with a dozen or so actually entering the water. The youngest was age 7 and the oldest much more than that. This year’s event promises to be even more amazing. 

If you plan to “take the plunge” or even if you may bow to peer pressure, be sure and bring: 

• Towels 

• change of clothing 

• Lawn/camp chairs 

• Your favorite snacks  

• Drinks of your choice 

A changing tent will be available as well as plenty of room to warm beside the fire both before and after. 

Registration is required so sign up early in order to help make the planning easier. There will be no rain date so let’s all hope for clear (and very chilly) weather.
