Contoocook River Paddle – August 19th

Join Five Rivers for a paddle trip on the Contoocook River. We will shuttle you to the start near three of our “Five” rivers – the Contoocook, Warner, and Blackwater Rivers. As we go downstream, we’ll pass four of our conserved properties, including the largest one – Bohanan Farm.  You’ll also see a mile of frontage we are actively working to conserve.

You may use your own kayak/canoe or you have the opportunity to rent one for the event. All paddlers will meet at the Contoocook River Canoe Company and be transported upstream, for a fun paddle down the river. When you return, we will have ice cream from Granite State Candy Shoppe, made from Contoocook Creamery milk.

Three different arrival times – We will shuttle paddlers  in three groups. One group arrives at 11am, another at noon, and the third at 1pm.

Costs – You can bring your own single kayak/canoe ($18) or double kayak/canoe ($28), or rent a one-person ($38) kayak or two-person ($48) kayak. Prices include transportation for paddlers and boats to the Contoocook River put in location and refreshments after the paddle.

Don’t forget to bring water, lunch, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses – whatever you need to have a fun day on the water! If you bring your own boat, please bring one PDF (Personal flotation devices) per person – they are required.
