About On The Water Networking: 10th Season-2026
Ditch the desk and paddle into possibility:
Join us this summer for a fresh way to Connect, Contribute, and Celebrate with fellow entrepreneurs—on paddleboards and kayaks! On The Water Networking is back for its 10th season, offering a blend of fun, friendship, and meaningful business conversations—all while enjoying Colorado’s stunning reservoirs.
What's it About: This is more than networking—this is community. We meet up, gear up, and get on the water to float, chat, paddle, and recharge. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned paddler, you’ll feel welcome, supported, and refreshed.
When & Where: We meet from June through mid-September on Fridays and a few Wednesdays, rotating between:
• Chatfield Reservoir – Gravel Pond (Littleton)
• Aurora Reservoir (Aurora)
Who It's For: Entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners ready to connect with like-minded peers outside the usual office or coffee shop.
Where:
Chatfield Reservoir - Gravel Pond - Look for the 5280 Paddle Sports sign/Truck.
11500 N Roxborough Park Rd, Littleton, CO 80125
There is a fee to get into the State Park - unless you choose to add the $29 state park pass to your vehicle registration!
Parking can get tight in the parking lot nearest the Gravel Pond (sometimes there is a day car drop off during the morning) so you may have to park at the other lot and walk over -be prepared!)
5280 PaddleSports rents equipment at the Gravel pond. Both Kayaks and SUP's. You will need to rent ahead of time on their website and then check in at their tent onsite to pick up equipment. They will go over safety rules and give you a quick tutorial. A 2 hour rental is $40.00
Aurora Reservoir, 5800 S Powhaton Rd, Aurora, CO 80016, USA - $10 to get into the reservoir unless you buy a City of Aurora Parks and Rec pass for the season.
Equipment is available for rent at the rental hut - you will need to leave your driver's license when signing the waiver and renting equipment. Rentals are by the hour.
