About the event

Glide through the winding confluence of the Coginchaug and Mattabesset rivers on a beginner-friendly golden hour tour of this vibrant freshwater tidal marsh. As the low sun paints the landscape in amber light, we will watch for the elegant white plumes of great egrets and the steady silhouettes of great blue herons hunting along the shore. Accompanied by the iconic calls of red-winged blackbirds, this peaceful evening paddle offers a front-row seat to the marsh’s most stunning wildlife in their most beautiful light.


5% of the proceeds from this trip will be donated to the Jonas Center for Earth and Art for their role in protecting the Coginchaug River and Floating Meadows. Learn more about their work at https://thejonahcenter.org/


Per request of Middletown, please park on North Main Street. It is around the corner from the launch site with plenty of parking.
