Join your Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) at the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club (PVRC) for a free intermediate paddle on the Connecticut River in Springfield, MA on Sunday, August 9 from 1:00pm-3:30pm.

The paddle will take place at Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club. CRC values making recreation on the Connecticut River and its tributaries more accessible and inclusive. We welcome intermediate paddlers to join us for a beautiful guided kayak tour on a section of the Connecticut River.

This event is oriented toward intermediate paddlers. Youth paddlers age 14 and up are welcome with an adult present. Participants are invited to bring their own canoe or kayak and join us for this trip. PVRC will provide a limited number of kayaks to borrow through pre-registration, first come first served. Please note that the rental kayaks have a maximum paddler weight capacity of 250lbs. Paddles and life vests are included.

All participants are required to wear a PFD on the water. A limited number of kayaks with PFD’s are available. Sunscreen, snacks, and water are highly recommended. Heavy rain or high-water cancels.

Paddling is a physical activity. Please be sure you're prepared for the paddle with water, food, and any supplies you need as an individual to be successful (including medications you might need, ie: inhalers, EpiPen, insulin, etc).
