Outing to Estes Lake

 

Saturday, July 19th

9 am

Meet at the Mill street Put in

 

On Saturday, July 19th, join the Sierra Club for a quiet paddle along the

Moussam River in Kennebunk. We'll paddle upriver for about an hour, along wooded shorelines, and then head back to the cars. Please bring your own canoe/kayak (and required gear - paddles, PFDs, etc). If you don't have a boat, we may be able to pair you with someone who does. Other suggested items to bring: insect repellant, sunscreen, binoculars and/or cameras (we should see some wildlife). We plan to meet at 9am at the Mill St. put-in. If you're coming from Kennebunk, it's on the right, just before the bridge.
