Description
Canoe the unspoiled floodplain forest habitat of the Ipswich River to experience the sights and sounds of a fall morning. Paddle through some of the most beautiful areas on the river to see flights of Wood Ducks, herons, and songbirds, along with basking turtles, hungry muskrats, and the beautiful autumn colors of the marshes. A midmorning stop at Perkins Island allows us to enjoy baked goods, coffee, and juice. Toward the end, we'll float into a backwater and use sampling equipment to discover aquatic life hidden just below the water's surface.
