Orlando residents and visitors alike are invited to attend a special glow stand-up paddleboard session on Thursday, June 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Gaston Edwards Park in Ivanhoe Village.
Join Jon Busdeker and Brendan O’Connor to check an item off their list/book of “100 Things To Do In Orlando Before You Die,” going for a glowing paddle on Lake Ivanhoe. Epic Paddle Adventures (Instagram | Website) is extending a deal to “Bungalower and The Bus” fans, Bungalower Buddy members, and lovers of the latest edition of “100 Things” to join us in an evening of stand-up Night Neon Glow Paddleboard goodness on beautiful Lake Ivanhoe.
The fun begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Lake Ivanhoe Boat Launch with an 8 p.m. departure. Guests can enjoy a sunset paddle before turning on their glow boards and pretending they’re in Tron before paddling back to the shore to enjoy some cocktails and snacks with the folks at The Pinery (Instagram | Website).
The Night Glow Paddle Tour is a unique view of the gorgeous clear water in Lake Ivanhoe. The multi-color LED lights reflect the brilliant colors below you and you can choose your favorite color and enjoy a leisurely night tour.

Sorry, but being a “TRUE BORN NATIVE of FLORIDA”, all I can say is NO WAY!
Not this time of evening and sure NOT this time of year {May/June} since IT IS ALLIGATOR MATING SEASON!
That is the most dangerous time to be on ANY BODY of WATER in FLORIDA!
And I’ve been and seen several alligators in lake Ivanhoe, you want to risk it, fine.
But this True Native of Florida has better sense and will never go near Florida’s waterways and lakes during ‘gator mating season, it’s just not a very smart thing to do.
