Turners Falls RiverCulture Calendar
Kick-off Independence Day weekend with an evening paddle exploring Barton Cove. We'll enjoy the sights and sounds of a summer evening - insect hatches, warbling bird songs and the changing light as day fades into night. Barton Cove is rich with special places and stories including ancient waterfalls, historic log drives and dinosaur footprints from thousands of years ago. Perhaps a fledgling bald eagle will be ready for independence as this is often the timing of their first flight. Bald Eagles first built a nest on Barton Cove Island in 1989 and have nested on the island continuously since then. This program is appropriate for both beginning and experienced paddlers.
For ages 12 and older. Free with own boat, $25 with boat rental. Pre-register by calling 800-859-2960. First Light Power Resources.
