Date: Sunday, August 25, 2024 Leader: Dave Watts Location: Sugar River Park (Nelson Rd.) Skill Level: Beginner Category: Day Trip
Details: The isolated, slow paced Sugar River flows through a sandy basin. There can be some downfall that require a bit of maneuvering so good boat control is necessary. The trip from Nelson Road to Yale Bridge is 7.5 miles. We may paddle to the take-out at Yale Bridge for lunch, so be prepared with enough water & a snack. This trip can be extended another 7 miles to Two Rivers Landing. TBD. Dress for the water & the weather. Car shift 9:30.
