The sign says walk, so why not on the river?
I'm guessing the man is riding a fiberglass paddleboard and may live in the area since I've seen him several times this month.
I've canoed, kayaked and boated on the Milwaukee River but I'm not sure if I have the guts to paddleboard it yet. Seems a bit risky, but I've never seen this guy fall in.
Who knows? Maybe it's only a matter of time before the city installs paddleboard-crossing signs on the Milwaukee River, too.

It's also called "SUP boarding" stand up paddle boarding,I do this every week on the lake,Bender Park,Grant,Lake Park or the river,even night paddling up the river(not for beginners).It's a good workout and fun at the same time.

OMC should do a piece on boating on lake Michigan/Milwaukee river. With which bars and restaurants and best places to tie up your boat. Milwaukee has a lot of water and no story about boating on the many rivers or on the lake. A guide to boating the Milwaukee waters if you will.
