Description
A moonlit evening is a perfect time to be on the water. Explore the quiet waters of Arcadia Marsh, where the Mill River meets the Oxbow, just as the moon rises over the Holyoke Range.
An experienced guide will lead you on a leisurely paddle through serene wetlands, learning about unique trees and aquatic plants and keeping an eye out for Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, beavers, and nocturnal wildlife that become active as darkness falls. No prior paddling experience is needed.
