Join us for a paddle on wildlife-filled Back Bay, a slow moving and scenic body of water that meanders along maritime-forests and wind-driven marshes. On this adventure, we will see plants and animals rarely seen in the city and learn about the amazing history of the area. During paddles, we regularly see bald eagles, great egrets, great blue herons, cormorants, and many types of songbirds. If we are lucky, we could also spot some playful river otters swimming nearby. Don't forget a water bottle, sunscreen, and bug spray.

All equipment is provided, no experience is necessary.
