PWA Paddle

Tuesday 9/15, 10 AM - Duck Puddle Pond, Nobleboro - PWA Educational Paddle Tour analyzing and witnessing the evolution of a lake and the glacial impact on our watershed; narration by A. J.  Corson. Directions: From Damariscotta take Route 1 North entering Nobleboro. Proceed to a right turn onto Winslow Hill Road at the bottom of the hill with Pemaquid Pond on your right and after a short distance take the first right onto Duck Puddle Road. Continue on Duck Puddle about 4 miles taking a left onto Bremen Road, going over the bridge and parking just beyond where we will put in across the road. Paddle duration 2 hours; no public rest room; optional lunch at a local restaurant.

 The paddles are free and the public is welcome to accompany PWA on these trips. Unless noted, most paddles commence at 10 AM on Saturday and last approximately 2 to 3 hours. Additional paddles may be scheduled during the season. By popular demand, we are now offering many ocean paddles and lake/stream paddles on the same days for those who are not quite ready for ocean paddles or would prefer the alternative.  Paddlers must provide their own kayak or canoe, wear a personal flotation device (life jacket) and provide appropriate safety gear including water. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. All paddlers participating in PWA trips are responsible for their own safety and each participant should determine in advance if conditions are suitable for their skill level. All paddlers must have a written release on file with PWA or complete one at the time of the paddle. The releases may be obtained at the PWA Paddlers web site or from the paddle leader. All paddles will be listed at the PWA website: www.pemaquidwatershed.org. For weather cancellation information, Peter Lawrence may be contacted at 563-7663, 563-3104 or paddlers@pemaquidwatershed.org. Peter Lawrence and Diane Gilman (dgilman @bbrlt.org) will lead the ocean trips while Jean Smith (jeansmith500@gmail.com) will lead the lakes and streams.
