Narraguagus Paddle

This mellow paddling outing offers opportunities to learn canoeing skills and see a variety of wildlife, including beavers, river otters, muskrats, a variety of birds, and maybe, if we’re really lucky, a moose or bear! We will meet in Cherryfield and paddle upstream, so the way back will be even easier. This is a flatwater paddling experience, and the current on this stretch of the river is usually quite minimal—you’ll hardly notice you’re paddling upstream. In OWL outings, frequent stops are built into the program to discuss elements of the natural world that we learn about on the way. The pace is always determined by the needs and desires of the group, with a primary goal of going slowly to enhance our connection with nature and each other.

Canoes, paddles, and life jackets available to the first 6 people who need them; otherwise, BYO boat.

OWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff.

Space is limited, and registration is required. Registration opens on August 17.
