Join us for our first Destination paddle of 2024 on the York River. This excursion is open to paddlers of all skill levels, but proper safety gear and paddle attire are required. We expect to paddle between 4 – 6 miles at a leisurely pace with an estimated on-water time of between 2 to 3 hours.
Meetup & Parking:
We will meet at 11:30 a.m. at the public parking lot on the North side of the Route 1 Bridge (just north of The York River Landing Restaurant).
About the York River:
The York River is a 13-mile-long (21 km) stream in southeast Maine. It is tidal for over half of its length. It rises at York Pond in Eliot and feeds the tidal section conjoined by brooks and creeks. The York River flows southeast to the Atlantic Ocean at York Harbor in the town of York. The Abenaki name for the York River was Agamenticus, which means “Beyond-the-hill-little-cove.”
