Canoeing & Paddling in the Berkshires
From April through October, Pleasant Valley's popular off-site paddling programs will take you to some of the best spots in the heart of the Berkshires.
Paddling Locations
Watch for swallows, herons, ducks, muskrats, and signs of beavers along the scenic and meandering Housatonic River in Lenox. Explore the coves and marshes of Upper and Lower Goose Ponds in search of eagles, herons, and kingfishers Tyringham. Or listen for owls, loons, and other wildlife on a moonlit paddle of Buckley Dunton Lake at October Mountain State Forest in Becket.
Best of all, we provide everything you need—canoes, paddles, PFDs, binoculars, and experienced guides!
