[Drop boats & gear at launch sight, drive to Take Out- Park, the bus will bring you back to launch site] This Shuttle Service has been providing by Butler Bus Company (we thank them).The Shuttle Service is available from 10am to 11am; This gives us a suggested launch time of 10:30 to 11:30am. The approximate paddle time for the spring and fall paddle is 3-1/2 to 4 hours.

At the end of the paddle there will be music by the Strawberry Farm Band and a cook out .

The Paddle The Border (PTB) event was started as a way for community organizations from Vermont and New Hampshire to work together to " Show Case" our shared asset, the Connecticut River. The event is sponsored by The Newbury Conservation Commission-NCC, Haverhill Recreation Commission-HRC, and Lower Cohase Chamber of Commerce, with support from Upper Valley Land Trust, Cohase Rotary Club, Upper Valley Trails Alliance, Strawberry Farm Band and Butler's Bus Service.

This is our 20th Year and we look forward to see old friends and meeting new Paddlers.

So come to Paddle the Border Sunday May 21 and bring your friends.
