The Friends of the Winooski River, Winooski Valley Park District, and the City of Winooski are proud to announce a new community event: the Winooski Pedal and Paddle, to be held on Sunday, July 23rd. This combination cycling and paddling event is sure to be fun whether you're looking for a weekend workout or a laid-back adventure for you and the kids!
Participants will travel through some of the most scenic areas of the Valley on the 7-mile loop course connecting the cities of Burlington and Winooski, beginning with a 4-mile bike from the Ethan Allen Homestead through the Intervale, and finishing with a 3-mile paddle from the Salmon Hole area in Winooski back to the Homestead. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy games and music at the Homestead after you finish the course.
Registration fees are as follows: $20 (ages 17 & up); $12 (ages 10 to 16); free under 10. All proceeds go to protect and restore the Winooski River watershed.
