About the event
Experience the magic of the Mattabesset and Coginchaug rivers after dark on a beginner-friendly starlight paddle through a freshwater tidal marsh. We will navigate the calm, silvery currents and use star maps and compasses to identify constellations in the vast night sky. With lighting and all gear included, this unique tour offers a serene and safe way to witness the marsh’s nocturnal beauty under a canopy of stars.
5% of the proceeds from this trip will be donated to the DarkSky Connecticut for their role in reducing light pollution. Learn more about their work at https://darksky.org/
Per request of Middletown, please park on North Main Street. It is around the corner from the launch site with plenty of parking.
