PADDLE THE BORDER * PTB *
Sunday May 22th 2016 * 13th Year *
A Canoe and Kayak paddle on the Connecticut River held in May and October. PTB 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. PTB promotes the natural, cultural, scenic and recreational resources of the Connecticut River, in a way that would also provide an economic boost to the area. PTB is held twice a year weather permitting-no rain dates are planned.
The Spring Paddle 2016 date is May 22th: from Woodsville Community Field to the Bedell Bridge State Park Boat Launch off Route 10, Haverhill Corner, NH.
The Fall Paddle 2016 date is Sunday October 2nd, from the Newbury Boat Launch beside the Newbury-Haverhill Bridge, to the Bugbee landing in Bradford, Vermont.
There is a shuttle service from the take out, to the launch sight. 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.
The Paddle is followed by a cookout provided by the Wells River/Woodsville Rotary Club, and
Live musical entertainment , by the Strawberry Farm Band
All events are weather permitting, and all participants must abide by safe boating rules and regulations
So come, meet new friends and fellow paddlers, whatever the reason join the fun!
