Join us for a Belgrade Lakes Member Paddle from 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.. We will meet at the Castle Island Boat Launch, Long Pond, Belgrade Lakes.

This paddle is open to NRCM members and area residents who want to join us for a beautiful fall paddle on Long Pond. NRCM staff and Ellen Blanchard, a local naturalist, will be leading this trip for you.

If you don't have your own kayak, you can rent one for $25 per person by contacting Stacie Haines at shaines@nrcm.org or (207) 430-0127. Reservations for kayaks are on a first come, first served basis.

If you don't need to rent a kayak, then there is no charge for this event. We still ask that you RSVP to Stacie to let her know that you will be coming.

Please bring your own lunch to enjoy that day - and don't forget your binoculars if you have them. If you have questions or would like to reserve your spot, please contact Stacie by Friday, October 1st.
