PADDLE THE BORDER * PTB * FALL
Sunday October 6th 2024 21st Year
A Canoe and Kayak paddle on the Connecticut River held in May and October. PTB was
started as a way for community organizations from Vermont and New Hampshire to
work together to ” Show Case” our shared asset, the Connecticut River. PTB promotes
the natural, cultural, scenic and recreational resources of the Connecticut River, in a way
that would also provide an economic boost to the area. PTB is held twice a year
weather permitting-no rain dates are planned.
The Fall Paddle 2024 date is Sunday October 6 , from the Newbury Boat Launch beside
the Newbury-Haverhill Bridge, to the Bugbee landing in Bradford, Vermont.
There is a shuttle service from the take out, to the launch sight. This Shuttle Service has
been providing by Butler Bus Company (we thank them).The Shuttle Service is available
from 10am to 11am; This gives us a suggested launch time of 10:30 to 11:30am. The
approximate paddle time for the spring and fall paddle is 3-1/2 to 4 hours.
All events are weather permitting, and all participants must abide by safe boating
rules and regulation.
BBQ Lunch by Bradford Parks & Rec. and music by Strawberry Farm Band.
So come, meet new friends and fellow paddlers, whatever the reason join the fun!
