This year, we’re taking on an incredible challenge—paddleboarding 28 miles in a single day on the Connecticut River! Last year, we conquered 21 miles from Woodsville to Bradford, Vermont, and now we’re pushing even farther.
The Connecticut River winds through lush, fertile farmland.. As you paddle, you’ll be surrounded by rolling fields, quiet stretches of wilderness, and towering trees lining the banks. The water is smooth, the current steady, and the experience—unforgettable. Keep your eyes on the sky, and you are sure to spot bald eagles soaring high above or perched along the river’s edge, watching as we glide by.
Our target date is Saturday, August 23, with Sunday, August 24, as a backup rain date. Camp out at Willoughby Rescue in Fairlee, Vermont, the night before our paddle. Then, after a full day on the water, we’ll regroup back at the Rescue for some awesome pizza from Colatina Exit and relax around a campfire.
Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or looking to push your limits, this is your chance to experience the Connecticut River like never before.
Are you ready? Grab your board, pack your camping gear, and join us for this one-of-a-kind adventure!
Outdoor Fitness Level: Moderate to Strenuous
No such thing as a silly question!
People have the option of camping out at the Farm Animal Rescue I manage -- Willoughby Rescue -- it is in Fairlee, VT. We will probably shuttle a car or two the night before to the end point of the trip and maybe one midway, in case we have to bail out for some reason.
We'll get up early and pile into the vehicles and drive to Woodsville. We will also meet anyone coming from anywhere else at that time. At the end of the day, we will figure out how to get everyone back to where they need to be. We are not carrying anything with us except water, food, sunscreen, and ibuprofen. (LOL).
Did I answer your question?
Silly question. If our cars are parked at the starting point. I assume out camping gear stays with them so we don't have to carry it? And how do we can pack to the cars at the end of the day?
