Riverside Park Paddle

The Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) restores and advocates for clean water, healthy habitats, and resilient communities to support a diverse and thriving watershed. Through collaborative partnerships in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, CRC leads and supports science-based efforts for natural and life-filled rivers from source to sea.

Join CRC Director Andy Fisk in a guided community paddle from the newly restored boat ramp in Sunderland. 
From the shadows of Mt. Sugarloaf explore this scenic stretch of the river, celebrating the progress we've made on the waterway and noting emerging challenges. BYO boat, equipment and on-water snacks.
