 Paddle a ten
mile section of the beautiful Housatonic River in Northwestern
Connecticut.
This section is a mixture of moving flatwater and easy whitewater and is
suitable for novice paddlers.
The famous Covered
Bridge in West
Cornwall
marks the halfway point and lunch is available at several places there. You
may also bring a picnic lunch (no glass bottles please!), and stop at one
of the many scenic spots along the river.
Come to our shop in
the morning and a van will take you to Falls Village. When you've completed your
journey 10 miles downstream at Housatonic Meadows Picnic Area we'll pick
you up and bring you back to our shop where hot showers are available.
