Overview
See the fall foliage change from the most unique perspective. On the water! Witness the splendor and pageantry of fall as the trees provide a vivid display of color and light reflected on the water's surface. All our beginner trips are specifically designed for people with limited paddling experience (calm water, stable kayaks, friendly instruction), and include a brief equipment orientation and paddling lesson. All equipment is provided. Bring a thermos of hot spiced cider and a waterproof camera on this four-hour trip! See below for details.
