Overview

This is a two day downstream paddle on the Deerfield and Connecticut Rivers with an overnight camp on an island. Saturday will be an 8 mile paddle with some short class one rocky riffles and an occasional fallen tree that must be avoided. Sunday will be a 12.5 mile paddle with moderate downstream currents. Experience in current & dodging obstacles required. Shuttling cars will be necessary. Participants are responsible for all personal food, boat & camping equipment. Note that as this trip begins on National Trails Day, we invite participants to celebrate by recognizing the Deerfield River as a regionally significant water trail.
