About the event
Explore the hidden corridor of the Mattabesset River on a beginner-friendly tour through a lush floodplain forest. We will paddle under a canopy of towering Northern Catalpa trees to admire their dramatic clusters of white, orchid-like flowers in full seasonal bloom. This gentle excursion offers a rare perspective of these spectacular flowering giants reflected in the calm, winding waters of the river.
