Wild Rice Paddle 2025

Wild Rice Paddle 2025
Friday, September 19
10:00-11:30am

Join us on a relaxing autumn paddle around the Upper Reaches of the North River. The confluence of the Indian Head River and Herring Brook forms the upper reaches of the North River. This creates a lovely freshwater tidal marsh, one of only a handful in the state. Early fall colors and cooler weather make for a great time to enjoy the beauty that this section of river has to offer.

Wild rice (Zizana sp.), also known as Indian Rice is found on the slower flowing portions of the North River and Herring Brook River. It is a favorite food for many of the wildfowl that frequent the waterway.

We will meet at 9:45am at the Hanover Canoe Launch on Friday, September 19. Please try to arrive early so we can all be on the water by 10:00am. Register with one of the links below.
